Welcome to Eyrie Theatre Company’s presentation of The Addams Family. We are so excited and grateful that you are here, and we hope you have a great time in this wonderful venue! This show has been so much fun for all of us involved in performing it for you tonight. While it is about unusual people (to say the least) who like the macabre and eccentric side of life, it is also about family and staying true to yourself and the people who love you. The Addams Family is absolutely devoted to each other, and that message of devotion and community has carried over to our cast and crew, who have built this beautiful production together as a family community. That message of community is one that we at Holy Trinity and Eyrie Theatre Company, especially, emphasize with our students. We are dedicated to building community, first and foremost. Our theatre company is a place where students can take risks, step out of their comfort zones and gain a different perspective in a place that is safe and accepts everyone. Just as we see in the show, there is no such thing as being “normal!” Everyone has their own special gifts and talents, and we celebrate each and every one of them! We are privileged and blessed to be a part of helping students discover their special gifts and talents, and we are beyond proud to offer the opportunity to participate in theatre to students in grades 1 through 8 this year. We are so blessed to be part of a school community that supports the performing arts, and especially blessed to be able to carry on the legacy of this beautiful, historic theater, which we will begin renovations on this summer! Thank you so much for coming to the show and supporting Holy Trinity’s Eyrie Theatre Company. Enjoy the show!
