We're welcoming a new family to Encore. Meet The Addams Family! Wednesday Addams falls in love with a ‘normal’ boy and brings his family home to meet her delightfully eccentric relatives. When the two families come together for one unforgettable dinner, secrets spill, tempers flare, and love works its unexpected magic. Full of humor, kookiness, and heart, this musical celebrates family, acceptance, and embracing the people you call home… even if they’re a little unusual. Recommended for ages 8 and older.

Looking for Mamma Mia?
We’re thrilled to share that our Summer 2026 production will be The Addams Family! Due to the Broadway return of Mamma Mia and a planned national tour, all licensing rights have been removed - and the season must go on! The Addams Family offers the perfect blend of humor, heart, and larger-than-life characters for our summer audiences. We’re still big fans of Mamma Mia and we hope to bring it to Encore in the near future. Thank you for your enthusiasm and support. We can’t wait to share this kooky, spooky, joyful summer adventure with you!
