END NOTES
From Your Director!
The Addams Family has been a favorite of mine ever since my dad
took me to see the movie in 1991. I was terrified. It started off
with the entire family pouring a boiling hot cauldron of something
on a group of Christmas carolers - I didn't know what to think. I
had yet to see anything scary in a theater or on television so I was
really anxious and nervous that this was not going to go well. But I
soon realized that even though this dark and spooky looking
family lived for the macabre, they also held deeper meanings and
values - spooky doesn't need to be gory, scary can be fun, and most
of all family means everything. I left the theater that day with a
new perspective. Flashforward to today, to my new family here in
Las Vegas. I have always been the type of person who puts my
family first, no matter what, and living in Vegas, over 1500 miles
away from all of my family, I have been able to create and be a
part of a new family - a family who embraces each other, supports
one another, and who even though we may disagree at times or
challenge each other, comes together to create something
beautiful and memorable. Thank you to my Dance Dynamics Family
- TORY, Gina, Paige, and Stephanie for helping create this
theatrical family. Words can't express how grateful I am to all four
of you. Thank you to Danielle Maas and Tristan Sosa for stepping
in and creating some truly memorable choreography - it was great
to have you on board with us for this show. And finally to my cast -
you've made me one proud dad in this family. You took a show that
is near and dear to me and turned it into something far more, with
deeper meaning, and something that I'll never forget. You are
paving the way for far more and for more young actors to call their
second family. Your undying passion and dedication to the show
and to Dynamic Productions is inspiring. Thank you for trusting me
on this journey and for delivering this show in a way that will make
people think, laugh, cry, and embrace their own darkness. I
couldn't be more proud.
