UND Theatre is excited for the opening of the 26-27 season. We will open the season with The Addams Family.
The Addams Family, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and a dilemma that’s every father’s nightmare: 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. And if that wasn’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.
For the first time since 1962 UND Theatre will be receive a facilities upgrade. The new Starcher Stage located in Starcher Hall will be unveiled opening night of The Addams Family October 8. Opening Night ribbon cutting beginning at 6:45 with celebrations before the show and food and drinks at intermission. Join us as we open the premiere black box theater in state and embark on a new era of UND Theatre.
UND Theatre students, faculty and staff are looking forward to seeing you at the all new Starcher Stage!
