Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

The Addams Family is a comical musical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family. This production features student performers ages 13-17. Directed by Kaleb Van Rijswijck, with musical direction by Dylan Cisneros and choreography by Marina Clever.

Improv Jam
2024-01-16 18:00 - 19:30 | Ethos West Stage
The sweet sweet jam that can actually help you “unstick” your creative flow! Kind of an un jamming jam? Isn’t it so weird that Jam Bands are basically ever-flowing nonstop musical noodling but actual jams are either solidified fruit goo or places where logs or traffic come to a stand still?
Why’s that a thing?
Circling back though- 1st and 3rd Tuesday improv Jams are more like the flowing noodley kind of jams- where everyone can play and learn from each other. “Improv like no one is watching” 6-7:30. Show up and Jam!

$5 at the door.

much, but with titles such as Silent Night All Day Long ” and I Saw Mommy Kissing
Santa Claus, its still Prine at his lovely wry best, bringing Christmas home.

featuring folk troubadour and Prine scholar, Jenner Fox, with special guests. The
evening will weave together Prines classic hits, his holiday themed songs, stories, and
lots of singing along. Come prepared to laugh and cry and ho ho ho your way through
celebrating a true American original.
Jenner Fox Band:
Made up of members from Pacific Northwest groups Polecat, Petty or Not and

respect. Theyve twice headlined Sisters Folk Festival and recently opened for bluegrass
