About the Show: 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.

Apple Shakes Presents:
Romeo And Juliet!
About our Shakes Program: This class is a non-musical class introducing the works of William Shakespeare to middle and high school aged participants. (AGES 11 - 18) Participants learn the historical context and performance practices of Elizabethan actors as well as the rehearsal process of the time. A large portion of classes for the first two months places an emphasis on the verse and delivery of the prose and verse of the script. Participants are cast in rolls in the second month to begin the traditional “rehearsal” process while using games as skill builders as well as Shakespearean Insult, Stage Combat, voice, and theatrical make-up workshops. Rehearsed for a long period of time to encourage full textural understanding, performance confidence and polish.
About Romeo and Juliet: An age-old vendetta between two powerful families erupts into bloodshed. A group of masked Montagues risk further conflict by gatecrashing a Capulet party. A young lovesick Romeo Montague falls instantly in love with Juliet Capulet, who is due to marry her father’s choice, the County Paris. With the help of Juliet’s nurse, the women arrange for the couple to marry the next day, but Romeo’s attempt to halt a street fight leads to the death of Juliet’s own cousin, Tybalt, for which Romeo is banished. Will Romeo be reunited with his Juliet? “Aye, there’s the rub.”
An Interview With Our Actor Of The Week:
Caitlin Remer
Introduce yourself, and tell us how old you are!
Caitlin Remer, 16 years old
Why do you love theatre?
I love theatre because I get to dance, act, and sing. Theatre is a combination of my favorite activities! I also love theatre because I get to meet new people.
How long have I been at Poison Apple?
I have been at Poison Apple for one summer.
What has been your favorite show that you've performed in?
My favorite show that I’ve performed in is Beauty and the Beast Jr (Advanced Camp).
Favorite Role?
Dick (Villager/Ensemble)
What’s something you’ve learned from participating in theatre?
I’ve learned that being a member of the ensemble is just as important as being another character because you help bring the show to life.
Can you tell us about a moment onstage when something didn't go as planned? How did it turn out?
During Beauty and the Beast Jr. somebody forgot to move their block to a corner on the stage. So, I moved both my block and the other person’s block to the right positions.
What's one piece of advice you'd like to give to someone stepping onstage for the first time?
Try your best, learn from your mistakes, and have fun.
Is there anyone you'd like to give a shout-out to for supporting you on your acting journey?
I would like to shout-out my parents. They have been supportive of me since day one and I really appreciate their ongoing support.
Tell us the shows you have participated in with Poison Apple!
Beauty and the Beast Jr. (Advanced Camp)
