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. If that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday 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.The musical stars seniors
Justin Reed as Lucas Beineke,
Georgia Ferguson as Grandma,
Julia Bartholow as Alice Beineke, and
Bill Song as Mal Beineke; junior
Elizabeth Blanchard as Morticia; sophomores
Asher Chamoy as Gomez,
Sophia Ganson as Wednesday,
Keegan Clendenin as Fester, and
Jack Pinchot as Lurch; and freshman
Spencer Neill as Pugsley. The backstage crew is led by senior
Kate Langley, assisted by sophomore
Sarah Smith.
“The cast is phenomenal, and, due to the show's variety of characters, many veteran Lakehill actors are able to take on more challenging roles,” said
Mark Guerra. “We are also welcoming many new actors to the stage.”
The performance is suitable for all ages.

Senior Spotlight
National Junior Honor Society Highlights Lakehill's Soon-to-be Graduates
In an effort to reveal the hidden talents, personalities, and accomplishments of Lakehill's most experienced students, the National Junior Honor Society presents:
NJHS Spotlight on Seniors
This week's senior: Macy Ellis
Macy Ellis has attended Lakehill for thirteen years. While at Lakehill, she has participated in many activities including Cheer, Volleyball, Softball, Musical Theater, Drama, Ambassadors, Sisteens, Improv Club, French Club, International Club, and Eats and Theats.
Macy’s favorite class is World Religions because she finds the topic interesting. Her favorite memory from attending Lakehill is of the biology trip during her junior year. Macy has earned several awards and honors during her time at Lakehill, including Warrior Honor Club, "mom of the year" in the theater department, the wearer of the Gypsy Robe in Musical Theater, and, most recently, First Team All-District in Softball. The activity that she enjoys most is pitching for the Varsity Softball team.
Macy has applied to several colleges, including University of Mississippi, Louisiana State University, and University of Colorado Boulder. She plans to major in digital advertising.
Macy’s advice to younger Warriors is "Try everything that you can during your underclassmen years so that you can begin to determine what you are passionate about."
