Theatre Siena will open its 2016-17 season with “The Addams Family: A New Musical Comedy” Oct. 6-8 in Francoeur Theater.

“The Addams Family” features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. 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.

The show is directed by SHU Professor of Theater Mark DiPietro.

Tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for seniors and students. Discounted student tickets are also available in the Dean for Students Office.

Curtain times are at 8 p.m. each evening. For general ticket information, call 264-7890.
