They\u2019re creepy, they\u2019re kooky and this October they\u2019re moving into the James McCabe Theater. The Village Players will present The Addams Family, the delightfully dark musical comedy based on the famously macabre Addams clan, beginning on Friday, October 2, in Valrico.<\/p>\n

In this musical twist on the beloved characters, Wednesday Addams has grown up and fallen in love with a young man from a painfully normal family. There is just one problem: her parents don\u2019t know. When Wednesday convinces Gomez to keep the relationship a secret from Morticia, one very uncomfortable dinner brings the Addams and Beineke families together under the same roof. Secrets come out, relationships unravel, ancestors refuse to stay dead and \u2018normal\u2019 quickly becomes a matter of opinion.<\/p>\n
