The Alfred State Drama Department will be presenting “The Addams Family,” a musical comedy based upon a cartoon by Charles Addams, from Nov. 17-20 in the Cappadonia Auditorium of the Orvis Activities Center.

A humorous inversion of the ideal 20th-century American family, “The Addams Family” focuses on the macabre, yet comedic exploits of Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Lurch, Grandmama, Wednesday, Pugsley, and Thing. It has been adapted into television shows, films, and even video games.
