Wimmera Lutheran College is staging three shows of The Addams Family: School Edition at Horsham Town Hall next week.

Featuring students from years seven to 12, the production tells an original story of a grown-up Wednesday Addams who falls in love with a ‘normal’ man.

Wednesday subsequently asks her father, Gomez, to keep the relationship a secret from her mother – a first for Gomez, played by year-11 student Evan Hahn.

“It’s difficult to be Gomez because I have to please two women – I have to keep a secret from one but I also can’t lie to the other, which makes it really hard to capture that essence of him,” Hahn said.

“The sets look amazing, and the costumes and the props are going to look really good. So many people have put hard work into it and it’s just really paid off.”

Zara Nichols, in the role of Morticia, said she had enjoyed bringing her own personality to the traditionally-gloomy character.

“She’s gloomy but she’s happy. It’s a lot of fun to try and incorporate all of her little mannerisms and her speaking voice and accent, while still trying to have some of myself in it as well,” she said.

Shows are at 7.30pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 7, 8 and 9.

Tickets are $35 for children, town hall members and concession, $40 for adults, and $30 per person for a family of four. They are available at Horsham Town Hall website and box office.
