Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents. Characters *Character Description: * *GOMEZ ADDAMS* (40's to 50's; tenor - Bb to G#) Of Spanish descent who takes great pride in his family and revels in all it means to be an “Addams.” Smart, comedic actor short in stature but large in heart. *UNCLE FESTER* (30's to 40's; tenor - C# to C# preferably at belt) Androgynous family member who serves as the musical’s narrator. Larger than life, an energetic, joyous, child-like presence. Vaudeville style comedian, willing to shave his head. *PUGSLEY ADDAMS* (teens; tenor - Bb to F#) Charming, funny, pudgy boy who loves being tortured by his sister. He wants to ensure he won't lose his sister to her new boyfriend, so he takes matters into his own hands. *LURCH* (unknown; bass - Eb to F) Tall, very tall. The Addams butler, knows all, speaks in moans and groans, but not a cartoon version of himself. Movement is slow, very slow. Character actor with large stage presence. *MAL BEINEKE* (40's to 50's; tenor - C# to Bb) Stuffy father of Lucas and exasperated husband to his rhyming wife, Alice. Everything Gomez is not. At one time was a follower of The Grateful Dead but has lost that side of himself. *LUCAS BEINEKE* (20's; tenor - C# to C#) The romantic, 'average' young man who has fallen in love with Wednesday Addams and plans to marry her. Caught in the middle of the two families. Pop voice. *MORTICIA ADDAMS* (40's to 50's; alto - G# to Bb) The real 'head' of the Addams family, as sexy as she is witty. Feels her husband is hiding something from her and will use any tactic to lure the secret out. Strong dancer. *WEDNESDAY ADDAMS* (20's; soprano - Bb to F) Sharp, witty, dry humored. When she finds love with a “normal” boy, Lucas her internal excitement is trying to bust through her cold emotionless exterior. *ALICE BEINEKE* (40's; soprano - G# to G#) Quirky, often speaks in rhyme. Picture perfect Mother to Lucas, stuck in a dull marriage with Mal until her wild side breaks free. *GRANDMA ADDAMS* (100+; belt - G# to F#) Feisty 102-year-old that is fun and quirky and has stopped caring what others think a long time ago. Strong comedic character actress. *THE ANCESTORS* (various genders, ages, and vocal ranges) Ensemble singer/dancers who serve as a Greek Chorus of sorts bring fun with a quirky sensibility. Each actor will create an Addams Family Ancestor character fill out the show and move the story forward. Examples of the Ancestor characters are Bride, Groom, Stewardess, Saloon Girl, Flapper, Pilgrim, Conquistador, Caveman, Cavewoman, Soldier, Sailor, etc.

09 Jun '18

Standing Rock Cultural Arts' "Around the World" Music SeriespresentsA program of North Indian classical musicfeaturing Samuel Salsbury, sarangiwith Josh Sherman, tabla8:00 p.m., Saturday, June 23, 2018 (final concert of the 2017-2018 season)North Water Street Gallery 300 N. Water Street, Suite HKent, Ohio$10 suggested donation (or pay what you can)preceded by 7:30 p.m. meet-and-greet featuring light food and drinks The final concert of our third season will be a special program of Indian classical music performed by Samuel Salsbury on the sarangi, a rarely heard bowed string instrument of North India, with tabla accompaniment provided by Josh Sherman. The evening will include exquisite selections from the Hindustani tradition of North India, to which Salsbury has devoted intensive study since 2014. Using an instrument that is 125 years old, he will present a full classical raga and two bhajans (devotional songs). Following the performance (which will be presented in one set, without intermission), Salsbury will share stories and photographs from his many extended stays in India, and authentic Indian food from Namaste Cuisine will be served. About the artists: Samuel Salsbury, an Akron native who is also a fine and versatile violinist, improviser, and recording artist, is one of the few non-Indians to play the sarangi, a bowed instrument with 39 strings, whose rich and resonant tone is known for penetrating deep into the hearts of listeners. For the past five years, he has spent between three and four months of each year in the holy city of Varanasi, taking daily lessons with his guru, Pt. Santosh Mishra, an 8th-generation sarangi master. While there earlier this year, he presented three solo concerts; this will be his first in Northeast Ohio since his return home. As a violinist, Salsbury brings soulful depth to a wide assortment of musical styles and situations. Probably best known for his kirtan performances, he has played with many of the world’s leading kirtan artists in the creation of sacred chants rooted in Hinduism and yoga practice. Although he received classical training at the Cleveland Institute of Music, his eclectic musical background has also included performances in the genres of rock, blues, jazz, avant-garde, and Cajun/zydeco. His spiritual journey dates back to early childhood and has taken him to such countries as Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Japan and, most recently, India. In 2018 he released a CD of original music with Kent musician Mike Hovancsek, entitled The Market of Kashi. Josh Sherman is a Northeast Ohio-based hand percussionist specializing in tabla and East Indian rhythms. He has studied tabla privately for over 13 years with a number of renowned tabla teachers, some of whom he has also had the honor of performing with on multiple occasions. His longest period of study has been with Jim Feist, a disciple of Pt. Yogesh Samsi, one of the foremost exponents of the Punjab gharana of tabla playing. Sherman currently performs as a soloist as well as with several groups (including instrumental world fusion ensemble Global Connections, kirtan ensemble Enchanted Hearts, and the hyper-rhythmic Rudraksh Rhythm Ensemble), and has performed in cross-cultural settings with musicians and dancers of many different styles from around the world. Performance venues of note include Severance Hall, House of Blues, Cain Park, Ingenuity Fest, Tri-C Jazz Fest, Parade the Circle, Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Starwood Festival. He has also conducted workshops for all ages on Indian rhythm theory and other drumming-related topics for the Starwood Festival, Ingenuity Fest, and many Passport Project programs.
