Summer Camp

Addams Family – Young Part

Show Logo

In this exciting summer camp, students will have the opportunity to rehearse and present a fully staged musical in just one week. Campers are guided through the complete production process—from first rehearsal to final performance—while building confidence, teamwork, and artistic skills.

Each day begins with a morning community conversation centered on a positive message such as compassion, leadership, or communication. Campers revisit this daily theme during a guided reflection at the end of the day, encouraging community-building alongside artistic development.

This is a one-week, full-day camp. Campers should bring a lunch, snack, and water bottle each day.  This is an action-packed and intentionally challenging week, offering students the opportunity to study acting, music, and dance as part of the rehearsal process.

The week culminates in a fully staged performance. **Ticket purchase required**. 

Audition Information

Students audition prior to the start of the program; however, every enrolled student is guaranteed a role in the cast. Auditions are used to help the teaching artists thoughtfully place each student in a role that best supports their strengths, growth, and overall experience.


Students will register for an audition time slot and audition in small groups. The audition process includes singing, movement, and acting components and is designed to be welcoming and encouraging. Students are supported throughout the process and are encouraged to demonstrate engagement, a willingness to learn, and a positive, collaborative attitude.

No prior theatre experience is required.

Show Description:

Celebrate the wackiness in every family with this best-selling Broadway musical! Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family whom her parents have never met. She confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before– keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

We were able to secure the rights to make a video recording of this production. DVDs and BluRays will be available to purchase after the show.
