White Rock Summer Youth Project presents The Addams Family
The White Rock Summer Youth Project is thrilled to present The Addams Family, a delightfully dark musical comedy celebrating the quirks and chaos of family life. This full-scale production will take centre stage at Hastings White Rock from 14–16 August, brought to life by a talented cast of local young performers.
Based on the kooky characters created by Charles Addams, The Addams Family tells an original story filled with laughs, love, and a celebration of family.
The plot centres on Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, who has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, respectable young man from a “normal” family. When Wednesday invites her boyfriend and his parents to dinner, secrets are revealed, relationships are tested, and hilarity ensues.
Now in its 22nd year, the White Rock Summer Youth Project continues its tradition of producing a high-quality theatrical production, combining the energy and enthusiasm of 100 young performers with the guidance of a professional creative team. Featuring a live band, professional lighting, sound, sets, and costumes, this summer’s production promises to be an unforgettable theatrical experience for the whole family.
Learning and Participation Manager, Laura Bateman, who produces the project comments: “The Summer Youth Project is truly one of the highlights of the year at the venue. It’s an amazing opportunity for young people to work alongside a professional creative team and bring a first-class musical to life on the main stage. Beyond the performance itself, the project helps build confidence, self-esteem, and lifelong friendships. It’s about much more than just putting on a show. If you’ve never seen one of our Summer Youth Productions before, I urge you to come along. You’ll be blown away by the talent and the sheer joy these young performers bring to the stage.”
Join us for a feast of music, mayhem, and mischief as this beloved, quirky family faces one of their biggest challenges yet: acting normal for just one night!
