SUMMARY:The Addams Family Musical
DESCRIPTION:A musical performed by the Annisquam Village Players\, one of the oldest community theatres in the country. Directed by Terry Sands and Tracie Ewing\, the show is based on the The New Yorker magazine\, single-panel comic series by Charles Addams\, which ran in the magazine from 1938 to his death in 1988. \nThe show takes place in the Addams’ crumbling old Central Park mansion\, alive with dark shadows and generations of dearly departed ancestors who simply won’t depart. When teenage daughter\, Wednesday\, invites her new boyfriend and his painfully “normal” parents to dinner\, what could possibly go wrong? \nQuite a bit. \nAs the boyfriend’s tidy\, conventional family steps into the Addams’ gloriously morbid world\, tensions rise faster than a ghost through the ceiling. Personality clashes spark chaos\, dinner threatens disaster\, and the evening takes a shocking turn when it becomes known that the young couple are engaged to be married. \nCue the mayhem. \nBetween the devotedly macabre and tango-dancing Morticia and Gomez Addams – along with their intense teenage children\, an eccentric Uncle Fester\, a 102-year-old grandmother (who may have outlived reason itself) and a hulking\, chiseled butler called Lurch who speaks only in heartfelt grunts and groans – the stage is set for comic catastrophe. But in a good way! \nAnd yet—through zombie ancestors\, slapstick torture\, and morbid humor — love finds a way. By show’s end\, both families discover that “normal” is relative… and that love conquers even the most haunted hearts. \nFor more information\, visit online at AnnisquamVillagePlayers.com. Get your tickets today. It’s going to be a great show!

SUMMARY:King Yellowman
DESCRIPTION:Jamaica’s first dancehall superstar\, Yellowman ushered in a new era in reggae music following Bob Marley’s death. His early-’80s success brought the popularity of toasting — the reggae equivalent of rapping — to a whole new level\, and helped establish dancehall as the wave of the future. For better or for worse\, he also epitomized dancehall’s penchant for “slack” lyrics — that is\, casual violence\, sexism\, homophobia\, and general rudeness. Graphic sexuality was his particular forte\, reaching levels of explicitness previously unheard in Jamaica. It brought him numerous detractors\, but it was also a big reason for his early popularity. There was more to it than that\, though; Yellowman was one of the most verbally nimble toasters of his time\, with a loose\, easy flow\, a talent for improvisation\, and a definite wit in his wordplay. Plus\, all the boasting about his prowess on the mic or in the bedroom had to be over the top to be convincing: true to his stage name\, Yellowman is an albino\, which carries a tremendous social stigma in Jamaica. His rise to stardom was unlikely enough\, but his transformation from untouchable outcast into sex symbol was staggering — and may not even have taken place without his trademark lewdness. Shocking though it could be\, it affirmed him as a sexual being just like his listeners\, and was delivered with enough humor to let the audience know that he didn’t take himself too seriously. Bouts with cancer pushed him into more thoughtful\, socially conscious territory in the 1990s\, but his initial style remains the most influential\, paving the way for countless dancehall toasters to follow. He remained quiet through most of the 2000s before mounting a comeback with 2019’s\nNo More War.

SUMMARY:The Addams Family Musical
DESCRIPTION:A musical performed by the Annisquam Village Players\, one of the oldest community theatres in the country. Directed by Terry Sands and Tracie Ewing\, the show is based on the The New Yorker magazine\, single-panel comic series by Charles Addams\, which ran in the magazine from 1938 to his death in 1988. \nThe show takes place in the Addams’ crumbling old Central Park mansion\, alive with dark shadows and generations of dearly departed ancestors who simply won’t depart. When teenage daughter\, Wednesday\, invites her new boyfriend and his painfully “normal” parents to dinner\, what could possibly go wrong? \nQuite a bit. \nAs the boyfriend’s tidy\, conventional family steps into the Addams’ gloriously morbid world\, tensions rise faster than a ghost through the ceiling. Personality clashes spark chaos\, dinner threatens disaster\, and the evening takes a shocking turn when it becomes known that the young couple are engaged to be married. \nCue the mayhem. \nBetween the devotedly macabre and tango-dancing Morticia and Gomez Addams – along with their intense teenage children\, an eccentric Uncle Fester\, a 102-year-old grandmother (who may have outlived reason itself) and a hulking\, chiseled butler called Lurch who speaks only in heartfelt grunts and groans – the stage is set for comic catastrophe. But in a good way! \nAnd yet—through zombie ancestors\, slapstick torture\, and morbid humor — love finds a way. By show’s end\, both families discover that “normal” is relative… and that love conquers even the most haunted hearts. \nFor more information\, visit online at AnnisquamVillagePlayers.com. Get your tickets today. It’s going to be a great show!
