Theatre Arts Productions (TAP) is currently in rehearsal for The Addams Family, which will be staged at the Wellington Amphitheater on May 21-22. Tickets are $15 in advance online or $20 the day of the event.
The Addams Family is a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family and features an original story that is 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 wasn’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. Online tickets are available at www.eventbrite.com/e/the-addams-family-tickets-297124947717.
Theatre Arts Productions (TAP) is a nonprofit company formed in 2019. Its first production was Lion King Jr. in August 2019 at Wellington High School with professionally made sets and handmade costumes and masks. It was directed by now 24-year-old Jaycie Cohen. Since that time, TAP has produced James and the Giant Peach, Newsies, Shrek and a short play festival called TAPShorts.
During the pandemic, TAP offered free Zoom classes and developed a Zoom/Facebook series “SuccessStories,” which featured interviews with industry and academic professionals.
TAP’s inclusive casts have included actors from age 4 to 80, as well as physically challenged and special needs actors. A recently formed a partnership with the Village of Wellington will see TAP conducting theater and acting classes.
TAP is led by Artistic Director Jaycie Cohen. For more information, call (561) 568-8659, e-mail tapstars.info@gmail.com or visit www.tapstars.org. Find Theatre Arts Productions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheatreArtsProductions.
