Sandy Springs, GA -- That lovable family of creepy kooks is alive and well and living in their super-spooky mansion in Central Park.

Audiences will be able to catch up on the Addams family as part of Riverwood International Charter School’s spring performance.

You can catch the Addams Family at 7 p.m. March 17-19 and 3 p.m. March 20 at the school’s auditorium.

Tickets are $10 for students and $15 for adults.

The Addams family, led by the elegantly gaunt and seemingly undead Morticia (Emma McConnell) and her ever-devoted husband Gomez, (Harris Cohen) is in turmoil. Their daughter Wednesday (Piper Gibson), 18, finds herself falling in love — a sensation that is unsettling for both her and her family of endearing misfits.

When the teen invites her new boyfriend, Lucas Beineke, (Chip Carter) over with his “normal” family to get better acquainted with the Addams household, comic chaos ensues.

Other cast members include Max Kantor as Fester, Celine Lagrange as Grandma, William Loux as Lurch, and Joe Virgin and Abby Gibson as Mr. and Mrs. Beineke.

Set design is by Jonathan Griffith, light design by senior Isabel Dever. The ensemble, pit band and crew includes over 50 Riverwood students.

Riverwood International Charter School is located at 5900 Raider Drive in Sandy Springs.
