Get ready to snap your fingers and tap your toes, because Showstoppers has announced their 2023 summer show, and it's going to be a spooky sensation! Inspired by the popular Addams Family, this year's production promises to be a scream.
Oliver Rivera will be taking the reins as this year’s leading director, while Kaye Kriel will serve as assistant director and stage manager. Mavis Pattee will be production manager, and Mandy Recker will work alongside her as assistant production manager. Leading the artistic charge will be Nick Helgaas. While the team is still on the hunt for an orchestra pit director and vocal director, they are confident that with this talented crew at the helm, the production will be a roaring success.
Even if performing isn't your thing, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved with set building, lights, sound, makeup, and costumes. With such a wide range of roles to fill, there's sure to be a part that fits your skill set and desires. Whether you're looking for a big part, a little part, a performing part, or a non-performing part, Showstoppers has something for everyone.
