While it’s obvious that the kooky spooky ADDAMS FAMILY is right for the month of Hallowe’en, it’s also right for October as Hispanic Heritage Month, where composer Andrew Lippa has worked in a wide variety of Spanish dance rhythms in honor of family patriarch “Gomez” Addams. I’m a big fan of honest instruments, not keyboard samples, and these folks were on fire. Using the former altar area of the church before it was a community center and before it was a stage, Isgar’s band was right on the money with Lucas Colon, Keyboard 2, Aneris Rivera-Wagner, percussion, Dawson Horey, Reeds, Yamilla Tate (real standup) bass, Daniel Isgar, trombone, and Lily Jones, trumpet. THE PLAYERS, THE PLAY, AND THE PRODUCTION: As is my wont, this interview is going to the pits … the excellent backstage “pit” orchestra led by Joe Isgar. A little like Cage aux Folles/The Bird Cage (trying to impress the “respectable” family) what could possibly go wrong? And now, the Addams are about to host the boy’s family for dinner. Problem #3: Gomez Addams has never, ever kept a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Problem #2: When Wednesday finally confides in her father that she’s engaged, she begs him not to tell her mother. Problem #1: Her parents have never met him. THUMBNAIL SKETCH: Based more on characters from the TV series (which I didn’t watch) than the cartoons of Charles Addams in the “New Yorker” magazine (which my family did read), Wednesday Addams has grown up and fallen in love with a nice young man from a “respectable” family. Runtime: 2 hours 15 minutes with one intermission at Oxford, Amherst, NY 14226 in the former Eggertsville Youth & Community Center (about 500 feet south of Bocce Pizza). NOTE NEW LOCATION!

Fridays – Saturdays at 7:30 pm, Sundays at 3:00 pm with an additional matinee at 3:00 pm on Saturday 10/22.

Lots of the cheese and meat used for the pizzas also comes directly from the state, Nick Fallucca, an executive at Milwaukee-based Palermo’s Pizza told Spectrum News the same year. “Wisconsin is a frozen pizza kingdom,” the Appleton Post-Crescent once explained in a 2019 article.Ĭhris Zelch of Nestle’s frozen pizzas division further told the Post-Crescent that Wisconsin is the largest per-capita consumer of the brand’s frozen pizzas, which include DiGiorno and Tombstone as well as Jacks, Stouffer’s and California Pizza Kitchen, among others. But it’s also likely that Wisconsin’s residents enjoy a larger selection because Wisconsin is home to the companies that produce national brands including DiGiorno and Tombstone, among others.
