SAAC has several special events planned for the public to take part in during the show’s run. On opening night, Friday, SAAC will host a meet and greet with the actors in the Price and Merkle Galleries after the show. There will also be photo opportunities with the characters in a “creepy Addams-inspired vignette, so bring your selfie stick,” she said.

Attend the “After Life Party” on stage with the cast on Saturday, after the show at 10 p.m. Harper said, “You do not have to see the show to attend the party. The director and his committee have planned a few surprises from the cast for the party goers, as well as bar snacks and beverages. It will be a fun time to hang out with the whole Addams family and the ancestors at this after-the-show gathering. There is a $5 charge for this party to be paid at the door.”
