  • Addams Family Values​: a Campy Cult Classic
    Addams Family Values​: A Campy Cult Classic By: Katie Baranauskas The Addams family is quite the odd bunch. Created by Charles Addams in a 1938 comic strip, the family has received countless renditions of their misadventures, including the 1993 sequel to The Addams Family: Addams Family Values. This is a rare instance in which the sequel ​ ​ ​ ​ is better than the original. The cast is by far one of the best, including greats like Anjelica Huston as Morticia, Christina Ricci as Wednesday, and Christopher Lloyd as Fester, as well as so many others. Every actor plays to their strengths, as well as their character's strengths, to craft a wonderful mix of comedy and drama. Some characters such as Fester and Gomez Addams have extreme slapstick comedy, whereas other characters such as Wednesday and Morticia Addams have a dry humor that also makes the audience chuckle: no laugh track needed. Along with all these fantastic characters comes an equally fantastic villain in Debbie Jelinsky, played by Joan Cusack. Debbie is immediately explored as a two-faced black widow, who will do anything to get the wealth and opulence she desires. Joan Cusack did the absolute most in this performance, and she looked fabulous as well. All of this is topped with an amazing script, which produced hundreds of lines I use to this day. A whole other article could be written on the iconic quotes from this movie, but my all-time favorite has to be when Morticia tells Debbie in the most monotone voice, "All that I could forgive, but Debbie… pastels?" This movie has just the right balance of creepiness and camp, reminding me of a Disney story set in a Tim Burton-esque world, where being "weird" is the new normal and everything is tinged with a gothic filter.

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

    CenterPoint Academy presents THE ADDAMS FAMILY SCHOOL EDITION in CONCERT CLASSCLASS SESSIONSSESSIONS 1111 && 1212 October 20-29 The Addams Family is a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family. boxoffi[email protected] • 525 N 400 W, CENTERVILLE CPT.ACADEMY CenterPoint Academy Making A Dramatic Difference The CenterPoint Academy motto is “You Belong Here,” and nobody knows that better than the 587 people, ages 3-18, that we train in performing arts. What we really teach them, however, is how to be the awesomest version of themselves. While the performing arts training we offer is top-notch, taught by the best local working artists, the end result for the vast majority of our students isn’t the Broadway stage. Instead, we use the arts to teach lessons that matter in any facet of life - confidence, discipline, leadership, self-esteem, teamwork, friendship, and creativity. Our students learn these universally-relevant skills and become assets wherever they go – at school, at work, at church and at home. The Academy provides unique performance opportunities to these students on the CenterPoint Theatre stages, performing for more than 15,000 people per year, in over 125 performances of more than a dozen different shows. Announcing Academy At Home We’re excited to announce CenterPoint Academy at Home, our flexible, home- based musical theatre classes! Academy at Home offers the absolute same quality experience our 600 students from 400 families experience every single week, but provided flexibly, with much of the experience based at home. Academy at Home is hands-on, active learning where students participate in classes and collaborations each week, interact with instructors and classmates, focus on skill development and personal improvement, prepare and perform material that they select in consultation with instructors, and learn singing, acting, dancing, technical theatre, and all of the other great interpersonal skills that come along with musical theatre training.

  • Perfect Slytherins - Tales from the Third Year Part 1
    Perfect Slytherins - Tales From The Third Year Part 1 Like the two years before, Harry and Wednesday’s third year stood out from the preceding eighteen years Severus had taught. The third year was often the time when puberty started to bloom among the students. It was the start of a long and awkward process as children became adults. As far as he was concerned, Harry and Wednesday were past that – they were already adults, only in children’s bodies. He was interested to see how the new emotions and chemicals surging through their bodies would affect them. His friendship with the two adult-children had grown, as had his self-knowledge. It was liberating, and that liberation, made the price of his decision worth it. In his recollection, the year was exceptional, beginning earlier than any other as well. Severus Snape was bored. He had enjoyed his annual holiday - a week in Bordeaux. He’d planned his next year of lessons. He’d caught up on his journals, and even written a few articles for Potions Monthly. He’d dined with Narcissa a few times, which had been enjoyable. With Lucius in jail, he was able to spend some quality time with her. And yet he was bored. He wanted to be back at Hogwarts, teaching – which was a first for him. Normally, he was quite happy to be as far away from the school, and the children it contained, as possible. There was a knocking on his window, and as he opened it, an owl entered. He removed the message attached to its foot, and smiled faintly.

  • Morticia Addams Is a Fictional Character from the Addams Family Television and Film Series
    Morticia Addams is a fictional character from The Addams Family television and film series. Created by cartoonist Charles Addams, she was based on his first wife Barbara. Morticia first appeared in Charles Addams' newspaper cartoons as the stern, aloof matriarch of the Family. She often appeared with the rest of the family, and was, along with Gomez and Grandmama, one of the few members to actually speak in the cartoons. Morticia is the wife of Gomez Addams and mother of Wednesday, and Pugsley. In the cartoons, none of the family members had names. When the characters were adapted to the 1964 television series, Charles Addams' selection of her name was inspired by "mortician". Morticia's maiden name is "Frump" and she has an older sister named Ophelia (also played by Carolyn Jones). In the television series, her mother (Uncle Fester's sister) was named Hester Frump (played by Margaret Hamilton). Her mother-in-law is Grandmama Addams. In the 1990s Addams Family films, Grandmama is actually Morticia's mother, not Gomez's. • Morticia is described as a witch; she is slim, with extremely pale skin and long flowing straight black hair. • She commonly wears black hobble dresses to match her hair, tightly form fitting, with a hobble dress, with fringe of octopus-like cloth "tentacles" at the lower hem. • According to Wednesday, Morticia applies baking powder to her face instead of actual makeup. • In each episode, she easily allures her husband Gomez by speaking French (or any other foreign language for that matter). • Morticia is musically inclined, and is often seen freely strumming a Japanese shamisen.
