The Addams Family Musical is a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and a dilemma that’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

Tickets are $12 for Kids 12 and under; $17 for Military/Seniors/Students; and $20 for Adults. Tickets may be purchased at the door or reserved online: www.spokanechildrenstheatre.org/addams

Full Disclosure – our production includes:
• Dark humor and macabre themes
• References to death, ghosts, and the supernatural
• Comic depictions of violence and torture
• References to weapons
• Mild profanity and suggestive humor
• Themes of family conflict, romance, and relationships
• Some frightening or startling moments
• Stage effects including loud sounds, lighting effects, and theatrical haze

It's our show now, kid. The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.

With music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by Tony Award-nominated pair Anthony King and Scott Brown, Beetlejuice was nominated for eight 2019 Tony Awards including Best New Musical. A viral "sucks-yes" on social media, this musical struck a chord with young theatre lovers who adored its unabashed humor and emotional honesty.

Created for the generation that made it a hit, Beetlejuice JR. is a wacky theatrical party for all!

Presented through special arrangement with Music Theater International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIShows.com

Museum and gallery directors, nonprofit arts organization founders, art teachers, and other local arts advocates have made a life of showcasing the art of others, while their own work is rarely seen. This exhibition challenges its participants to make new work, providing space to honor the creative talents that led them to these careers. It also highlights the breadth of our regional arts ecosystem, offering a chance to meet and connect with the stewards of our growing arts community. Prepare to experience a range of works in clay, mixed media sculpture, painting, printmaking, photography and more. Each participant's work is united in the theme that they don't make art to make a living, yet they are immersed in art and with artists every day, which is a unique perspective.

Critical Infrastructure includes the work of Ali Blackwood (Inlander), Ali Shute (Coeur d’Alene Arts & Culture Alliance - retired), Ann Saberi (Jordan Schnitzer Museum WSU), Brooke Wagner (Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture), Chelsea Cordova (Arts marketing, instructor), Eva Silverstone (The Hive / Spokane Public Libraries), Jeni Hegsted (founder of Emerge), Jennifer LaRue (arts writer, advocate), John Fullmer (Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture), Kelsey Cook (Spokane International Academy), Kristin Becker (Jordan Schnitzer Museum WSU), Megan Cherry (Moscow Public Arts), Rachel Allen (Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture), and Rob Worstell (Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture).

Integrating drawing and painting with the craft of crochet, Jo Hamilton creates figurative art with post-consumer materials. Weaving these disparate languages together, she acknowledges the hand-labor of generations of women as well as the culture of contemporary art. The resulting fabric is a net that filters and transforms traditionally dominate gender stereotypes and fine art genres.
