Austin Prep sophomore stars in "The Addams Family"

Phillip Dragone of Stoneham stars as Pugsley in Stoneham Theatre's upcoming production of "The Addams Family - A New Musical."

He’s neither creepy, nor kooky, nor mysterious and spooky, but Phillip Dragone of Stoneham will pretend to be for the next three weeks.

The 15-year-old stars as Pugsley in the Stoneham Theatre’s upcoming production of “The Addams Family – A New Musical.”

The show runs from Oct. 16 through Nov. 9. Gomez and Morticia Addams couldn’t be prouder of their creepy and kooky family. But when their delightfully sinister daughter, Wednesday, falls in love with a perfectly normal boy and invites his parents over for dinner, nothing will ever be the same. Just in time for Halloween, all our favorite characters from the Addams Family come to life in this wonderfully wacky new Broadway musical comedy.
