Meet 'The Addams Family' at the Hobby Center

This week the Hobby Center is home to "The Addams Family" a rather bizarre and unique musical performance of family values based on the characters created by cartoonist Charles Addams. 

They may look different, but 'The Addams Family" is no different from any other family when it comes to their daughters, dating, happiness and virtue.  Wednesday Addams meets and falls in love with a sweet, smart, young man from a "respectable" (translate normal) family.   Daddy's little girl begs him not to tell mom, which is when things get really scary at home.   

Find out what happens with "The Addams Family" has this unsuspecting boyfriend and his family for dinner, I mean over for dinner in an original "meet the parents" dining disaster.
