The Addams Family
The Broadway musical comedy that proves every family is wonderfully strange. When Wednesday Addams falls in love with a “normal” young man, the entire Addams clan must survive one unforgettable dinner that turns tradition upside down. Packed with hilarious comedy, heartwarming moments, and a delightfully spooky score, it’s creepy, kooky, mysterious—and completely irresistible.
Education
BrightSide Theatre Youth Project Fall Show
Experience the joy, music, and adventure of DreamWorks’ Trolls Jr.! Young performers will strengthen their acting, singing, and dancing skills while bringing this beloved musical to life on stage. Filled with colorful characters, uplifting messages, and chart-topping songs, it’s a fun and rewarding theatrical experience from the first rehearsal to the final curtain. Ages 8–18 rehearse in Lisle with performances in Naperville.
