The Addams Family

A New Musical

October 6 - 29

Purchase Tickets Here

Our upcoming production of The Addams Family, A New Musical is a must-see during the Halloween season! Set in the iconic Addams Mansion, and with its darkly comedic tone, catchy tunes, and captivating performances, it invites audiences into the delightfully twisted world of Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, and the rest of the eerie clan that you know from TV and movies.

Content Advisory - Warning: The Addams Family Musical is a laugh-out-loud extravaganza that may cause fits of uncontrollable giggles. Parental guidance is suggested for its wickedly funny humor, adult innuendo, scenes that involve hilariously twisted torture, and ghostly apparitions. Prepare to be thoroughly entertained and leave with a smile that lasts for days. Side effects may include sore cheeks, a newfound love for all things Addams, and the urge to snap your fingers.

Special Opening Night Festivities

On opening night, Friday, October 6th, come downtown early to check out the great food and music at the Farmworkers Fest, and then top off your evening by enjoying the show! Stay for our post-show reception with cake and champagne - an opening night tradition.

Friday the 13th Fun!

And on Friday, October 13th we'll celebrate with The Addams Family Gathering! We encourage you to come to the show in costume. Pick an Addams Family member to dress up as, or show us what's in your Halloween trunk! We'll have a free drawing at intermission for a special prize then reception in the 3rd floor lounge afterward with drinks and snacks (you can show off your costume).

The Play That Goes Wrong

Looking for a great opportunity to show your acting chops in a unique production? We have the perfect one for you! The Play That Goes Wrong is a riotously hilarious and side-splittingly funny theatrical experience that takes the concept of a play within a play to new heights. This uproarious production is filled with slapstick comedy, absurd mishaps, and a relentless barrage of laugh-out-loud moments.

Remembering a Dear Friend: Elaine Edstrom

The Opera House recently learned of the passing of Elaine Edstrom, our very first Executive Director (who served from 1988-1996) as we transitioned from the renovation phase to an operational, producing theatre. Elaine was also an actor and shined brightly both on and off the stage. Her tenure at the WOH came during a critical period for us, when we were coming back to life after being closed for so many years, and we are grateful for Elaine’s leadership and guidance during that time.
