The Academy of Music and Art in Westmont is excited to announce its Fall 2026 musical, The Addams Family <a href="mailto:Young@Part" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Young@Part</a>!
This production marks the Academy's 37th musical, continuing a tradition of providing children and teens with a fun, welcoming environment to discover the joy of musical theatre.
Open to performers ages 7&ndash;17, The Addams Family <a href="mailto:Young@Part" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Young@Part</a>&nbsp;is designed for students of all experience levels. Whether it's a child's very first audition or they've performed in previous productions, everyone is encouraged to participate.
