CELEBRATE the wackiness in every family with the best-selling musical comedy The Addams Family Young@Part, adapted for young performers, under 18, brought to you by The Ah Players.
This show, taking place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 19-21, is being run as a fundraiser for the Albert Hall.
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.
“Youth theatre is the future of the theatre industry. For many years, there has been a big hole in our area, with few opportunities for young people to take part in theatre,” said Ben Williams, director of the show.

“When we ran auditions for the Addams Family, we could have cast the show twice. The quality of the young people was outstanding and it was with regret we couldn’t give everyone an opportunity to perform.
“However, we have formed a fantastic group of over 25 young people, aged between 6 and 14, to bring you this production. Not only that, 50 per cent of our backstage and production crew are 21 and under.
“Without these younger people getting involved in theatre, the industry has no future. I do hope you will come and support these fantastic upcoming stars, to raise much needed funds for the Albert Hall.”
The show will take place on Friday and Saturday (May 19 and 20) at 7.30pm and on Sunday at 3pm, at the Albert Hall, on Ithon Road. Each performance is approximately 80 minutes, including an interval. Programmes, raffle tickets and refreshments will be on sale.
Tickets are £8 for adults and £5 for children, available from thealberthall.co.uk or calling 0300 102 4255. Any remaining tickets will be sold on the door.
