The Addams Family

Allow me to introduce you to Meeker High's own Addam's family:
Morticia and Gomez Addams, and their morbid children Wednesday and Pugsley

The whole extended family was present for the show, including Lurch the Butler, Cousin Itt, Hand, Uncle Fester and Grandmother? As well as the Beineke family, whose visit to the Addam's house was the subject of much angst in this year's Meeker High School musical!

The Beineke family - just a super normal family from Ohio!

And here's the Addams family out-of-character...
(I'm sure it was difficult to be so serious and macabre all the time!)

The show this year was another smash hit - great music, really fun characters with really funny delivery, excellent set and costuming, even some really entertaining dance scenes! Of course, I was partial to seeing BOTH my boys perform this year and loved every moment of their time on stage.

Sam enjoyed being tortured by his on-stage sister Ruby, Hamp showed off his comedic timing in several scenes and even a lovely vocal duet, and Sam made me cry with his spotlight solo about his older sibling leaving!

I asked Sam to put together a few highlights, starting with the very clever black & white introduction video that he created for the show's opening! Total is just under 8 minutes featuring Hamp & Sam scenes:
