A spooky production

Star Weekly is taking a look back at 2023. Here’s one of our biggest stories from last year.

August 15

The Darebin Arts Centre will be transformed into the spooky home of the kooky Addams family ahead of opening night of the Hume Anglican Grammar’s latest production.

Sixty-four secondary students from the school’s Mt Ridley campus have been perfecting their lines, learning dance routines and music and creating sets ahead of the show, which will be staged on August 17 and 18, at 7pm.

Director Haylee Sommer said the school chose The Addams Family for its senior production because it was “perfectly suited“ to the talents of its students.

“This incredible event is the culmination of months of hard work from our wonderful students and team of dedicated and highly skilled staff, parents and volunteers who have come together to bring this show to life,“ she said.

“We are enormously proud of our magnificent students and hope this year’s secondary production will be remembered in the hearts of both performers and audience members for years to come.“
