Spookier than ever

They’re creepy and they’re kooky, they’re mysterious and spooky.

They’re all together ooky, so clap twice and welcome Point Cook P-9 College’s performance of The Addams Family.

Fresh on the acting scene, Irene is embracing life as Morticia the macabre queen.

“This is my introduction to acting, and the character I am playing is very distinct from my natural character,” Irene said.

“I have a very bubbly personality and Morticia is super dark.”

Morticia’s husband Gomez is no stranger to romance, but Dylan, who plays him, is.

“He is a very passionate person I would say, perhaps a little too romantic– especially for me,” Dylan said.

“Simply when Gomez talks to Morticia, words like darling get me. It is very hard to be romantic at 14.”

Abigail has no intention of fixing what isn’t broken when she transforms into Wednesday Addams.

“I have tried to mostly keep it the same, I have read about the character and stayed mostly on track with being Wednesday, because I am the opposite.

“I am always laughing and smiling, so I struggle with keeping the deadpan look.

“My favourite part is how my friends have been helping me, and it has basically just been a staring showdown.”

The youngest of the bunch, Geronimo was the right man to channel Pugsley.

Pugsley has been a great way to find inner strength and empathise with a character’s sibling rivalry.

“He has different ways of being himself, and I mean, yes he does have lots of problems with his sister,” Geronimo said.

“But if his sister went away, he’d miss her.”
