Their daughter Wednesday has found herself “Pulled” out of her usual dark melancholy and falling in love with the sweet and respectable Lucas Beineke. Wednesday wants just “One Normal Night” to host a dinner for Lucas and his parents, Alice and Mal, though her younger brother Pugsley, and their Grandma, Uncle Fester, and butler Lurch, (along with the ever-present spooky spirits of the Addams Ancestors) can’t resist reminding Wednesday that she may be fighting her dark destiny. But, in a shocking turn of events, the entire Addams Family may have underestimated exactly how normal the Beineke Family is to begin with. Broadway Highlights is a one-week engaging musical theater experience showcasing each actor’s unique talents, specifically designed for ages 8-12. An inspiring Skyline Teaching Artist “highlights” the abilities of every actor through a short script and beloved songs that also “highlight” the best moments of the show. Broadway Highlights will learn how to stage a show and memorize lines during a compact rehearsal process, audition for solos, and dance in fully staged musical numbers. In addition to show rehearsals, days will be packed with playing drama games, crafting set elements, and fun in the sun with friends while visiting the park for outdoor lunch and recess. Actors will be motivated throughout their camp by the anticipation and shared goal of presenting their show with lights, sound, and scenery. Every actor will feel the thrill of make believe, the glow of lighting up the stage, and pride in their hard work coming together as they perform for friends and family on the final date of their camp.
