Abracadabra Cadavers: Ed Rozmiarek, Jeff Caruso, Carter Fayyad, James Brennan, and Tom Moriarty

Based on The New Yorkermagazine, single-panel comic series by Charles Addams, the show takes place in the Addams’ crumbling old Central Park mansion, alive with dark shadows and generations of dearly departed ancestors who simply won’t depart. When teenage daughter, Wednesday, invites her new boyfriend and his painfully “normal” parents to dinner, what could possibly go wrong?

Quite a bit.

As the boyfriend’s tidy, conventional family steps into the Addams’ gloriously morbid world, tensions rise faster than a ghost through the ceiling. Personality clashes spark chaos, dinner threatens disaster, and the evening takes a shocking turn when it becomes known that the young couple are engaged to be married.

Cue the mayhem.

Between the devotedly macabre and tango-dancing Morticia and Gomez Addams – along with their intense teenage children, an eccentric Uncle Fester, a 102-year-old grandmother (who may have outlived reason itself) and a hulking, chiseled butler named Lurch who speaks only in heartfelt grunts and groans – the stage is set for comic catastrophe. But in a good way!

And yet—through zombie ancestors, slapstick torture, and morbid humor — love finds a way. By the show’s end, both families discover that “normal” is relative… and that love conquers even the most haunted hearts.

Performances will run Aug. 4-9 at the Annisquam Village Hall, 34 Leonard St., Gloucester. Tickets go on sale in July. For more information, visit online at www.AnnisquamVillagePlayers.com. It’s going to be a great show!

We enjoyed a late lunch at Lobsta Land on Causeway Street recently. It was a beautiful weekday afternoon so we decided to eat at the bar on the deck. What a great experience! As always, the service was efficient and friendly. I had the panko crusted haddock sandwich (which was on the specials menu) and Jim enjoyed his fish and chips but we relaxed in the wonderful atmosphere most of all. Hope to catch you there sometime! *PS Annie and Squam’s osprey chicks have hatched and are a delight to watch on the osprey cam**

Here’s a sampling of some unrelated goings on.
