We’re absolutely blown away by their talent! 🎨✨ Thanks for sharing your amazing art with us! 🖌️👏







🕸️ MEET THE CAST OF CHS'S SPRING MUSICAL – THE ADDAMS FAMILY! 🕸️ 🎭 Bryce Rhoades as Uncle Fester! We asked Bryce a few fun questions about his experience in the show so far: 🔹 Most memorable rehearsal moment? "To be honest, my favorite moment so far was the first time I got to see my costume 👀, getting to put it on, and wearing it to all subsequent rehearsals. An honorable mention goes to all the times I have sang alto or soprano notes 🎶 for my part too!" 🔹 Describe Uncle Fester in 3 words: "Peculiar, witty, and loving" 💡💀💜 🔹 What is one thing about your character that people may not realize? "Uncle Fester, within the realm of the musical, has the power to generate electricity ⚡, freeze time ⏳, generate weather 🌩️, wake the dead 🪦, and transcend his own reality, so he may potentially be the most powerful being in the Addams Family universe." 🔹 Which Addams Family character besides Uncle Fester do you relate to the most and why? "I'd probably say I relate the most to Gomez 🖤, for his general love and care of those around him, but also because of his fear of losing the people he loves in any capacity." 🎟️ Don’t miss Bryce and the rest of the cast in The Addams Family at the Robson PAC! 🎭 Tickets are on sale now! → simpletix.com/e/the-addams-family-chs-musical-tickets-208284 📅 Show Dates: April 24-26 | 7:30 PM nightly 💰 Tickets: Adults $15 | Seniors & Students $10 | Kids 6 & under FREE 👀 Stay tuned for more cast spotlights, and mark your calendars for a spooktacular 👻 show!
