Center Stage Theatre in Shelton has a slate of spooky fun planned for late October and early November in celebration of everyone’s favorite holiday!
This includes:
“The Addams Family: YOUNGER@PART” from October 25 – 27, a 30-minute, professionally-staged production, featuring actors in grades 2 – 4 that is the perfect introduction to theatre for young Halloween fans.
Celebrate the wackiness in every family with this best-selling Broadway musical adapted for middle school-age performers! Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family whom her parents have never met. She 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.
Show off your costume and join us pre- or post-show for a spooktacular adventure down the Haunted Hallway, a family-friendly experience where friendly characters hide behind mysterious doors, ready to share treats and delightful surprises! Perfect for young theatergoers ages 10 and under.
“Zombie Prom” from November 1 – 3, a professionally-staged production featuring actors in grades 9 – 12.
This girl-loves-ghoul rock ‘n’ roll Off Broadway musical is set in the atomic 1950s at Enrico Fermi High, where the law is laid down by a zany, tyrannical principal. Pretty senior Toffee has fallen for the class bad boy. Family pressure forces her to end the romance, and he charges off on his motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He returns glowing and determined to reclaim Toffee’s heart. He still wants to graduate, but most of all he wants to take Toffee to the prom. The principal orders him to drop dead while a scandal reporter seizes on him as the freak du jour. History comes to his rescue while a tuneful selection of original songs in the style of 50s hits keeps the action rocking across the stage.
Join us pre-show and brave the Haunted Hallway: a scary-but-not-too-scary 25 feet of pure terror (not really!), where shadows lurk and thrilling surprises await. Can you handle the chills while collecting goodies from the mysterious characters? Perfect for the young teen in all of us.
“The Addams Family: YOUNG@PART” from November 7 – 10, a 60-minute, professionally-staged production, featuring actors in grades 5 – 8.
