The Addams Family

Near West Theatre kicks off its new season with The Addams Family, a musical based on the comic strip that became a TV show and then a movie. The play centers on how a grown-up Wednesday Addams has fallen in love with a "normal" man. Or so she thinks. Tonight and tomorrow night's performances take place at 7:30 p.m.; additional performances continue through Oct. 6. Tickets start at $10 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under. (Niesel)
