BRUNSWICK, ME – In March 2020, just days before opening night, the Brunswick High School Players were forced to shut down their production of The Addams Family as schools across the country closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, five years later, the Players are bringing the beloved musical comedy back to the stage, giving a new cast and crew the opportunity to finally share this story with audiences.

Directed and choreographed by Linda Gardiner, with musical direction by Ashley Albert and produced by Michael Millett, this production of The Addams Family is a testament to the resilience and passion of the Brunswick High School theater community. The show, filled with laughter, love, and all things delightfully spooky, follows Wednesday Addams as she falls in love with a “normal” boy and introduces him to her wonderfully weird family.

“This production is more than just a performance—it’s a full-circle moment,” said director Linda Gardiner. “We’re honoring the students who never got to take the stage in 2020 while giving our current cast the chance to make this show their own.”

Performances will take place at Brunswick High School’s Crooker Theater on March 27–29 at 7:00 PM, March 30 at 2:00 PM, and April 4–5 at 7:00 PM. Tickets will be available at the door or online at https://sites.google.com/brunswicksd.org/brunswickhighschoolplayers/home.
