Schools Notebook: HHS Drama to present ‘Addams Family Musical’

by | Nov 11, 2024 |

Hopkinton High School’s Drama Department plans to spook and delight audiences this month as it brings “The Addams Family Musical” to the stage.

The production runs from Nov. 21-24 at HHS and features a cast, crew and band composed almost entirely of students — more than 40 in total, ranging from Grades 9-12.

“It’s a strong ensemble with kids who love to perform and work behind the scenes,” said Kara Sullivan, the school’s new performing arts teacher.

She noted that students were stepping up to lead the show’s technical elements and choreography, among other areas of production.

The musical centers on Wednesday Addams, her mortal love interest and a family dinner that goes wrong when two worlds collide.

“[It’s got] really catchy music and great dancing,” said Sullivan. “It’s a really fun and well-done production.”

Sullivan, who is directing the show alongside music teacher Isaac Brody, said she proposed this musical to her students because it was fun and unique.

“It’s hard to find good musicals for high schools,” she said. “They’re either way too intense, too difficult … or might be dated.”

Regardless, she’s confident in the hard work her students have put into the production.

“They’ve taken so much initiative,” said Sullivan. “[It’s] just a great group of kids.”

Tickets are available via the HHS website: hopkinton.k12.ma.us/extracurricular/performing-arts.
