Performers Needed for Theatre Audition "The Addams Family"

(Baritone, male-identified) – A suave man of Spanish descent who adores his wife and children and takes immense pride in being an Addams. Gomez finds himself trapped between his daughter and his wife, being forced to hide Wednesday’s big secret from Morticia. He has great comedic timing and is a strong dancer.

(Mezzo-soprano, female-identified) – The beautiful, leggy and mysterious head of the Addams family who believes strongly in family tradition. Morticia is unnerved thinking that Gomez is hiding something from her and that her relationship with her daughter isn’t what it used to be. She is confident and sexy with a side of dry wit.

(Baritone/tenor, male-identified) – Serving as the musical’s comedic narrator, Uncle Fester brings their own unique personality to the show. They are lovable, childish, enthusiastically strange, and highly incorrigible (except for the good nature of the family and the ignorance of the police, they would ordinarily be under lock and key!).

(Alto/mezzo- soprano, female-identified) – Fun, quirky and very feisty, Grandma always has a trick up her sleeve and is often cooking up schemes. She is wise, wacky, and sometimes a bit crass. She has great comedic timing and versatile character physicality, definitely not a typical sweet grandmotherly figure.

(Mezzo-soprano, female-identified) – Goth big sister Wednesday has her father’s heart and her mother’s sensibility (as well as her deadly dry wit). Having fallen in love with a “normal” boy, Wednesday must figure out how to introduce him and his parents to her unique family. Wednesday showcases compassion, a bit of stubbornness, and a strong will.

(Bass, male-identified) – A man of few words, Lurch is the Addams family butler. His unmistakable commanding presence is accented by grunts, moans, and deliberate movement. Must have great non-verbal story-telling abilities.

(Baritone/tenor, male-identified) – is the uptight father of Wednesday’s boyfriend, Lucas, and exasperated husband to his rhyming wife, Alice. Once a faithful follower of a grungy, dark band, he has long submerged that side of himself to become a stereotypical businessman, obsessed with his family’s future and impressing others. He finds the Addams far too bizarre for his liking.

(Mezzo-soprano, female-identified) – Lucas’s mother and Mal’s wife, Alice is a lovely housewife who is devoted to her family. Always charming and cheerful, Alice’s only flaw seems to be a quirky tendency to speak in rhymes. That is, until she accidentally drinks a potion at dinner with the Addams and learns to unleash her wild side.

(Baritone/tenor, male-identified) – Smart, attractive, and a bit dorky, ‘normal guy’ Lucas has fallen head over heels in love with Wednesday and intends to marry her. He is optimistic and hopeful yet struggles to find the balance between his ‘normal’ family and the macabre Addams.
