We had a chance to see The Addams Family, peformed by the NTPA Repertory Theatre, locateed inside the Willow Bend Center of the Arts in Plano- and it was a delight! Parking was easy in Structure D and led directly to the entrance of the theater. The concession stand was right at the ticket booth, and it had plenty snacks and drinks. The facility has multiple theaters so more than one show can be going on at a time - despite that, we only heard what was going on in our theater.
The theaters are intimate and the cast frequently ventured out into the audience, to the delight of many. The show, coming in at over 2 hours with an intermission, kept the attention of two 7-year-olds the day after Halloween! The cast was excellent, with Morticia and Wednesday as true powerhouses, however, the scene-stealer was Lurch, with great comedic timing and impressive stature (he’s 6’7'!). The costumes and makeup were delightful and worked well in tandem. We drove out to Plano from far west Fort Worth and south Arlington, and this is our ringing endorsement: it’s worth the drive!
For the upcoming holiday season, the NTPA will feature Scrooge'd. Go catch the show and support local theater!
