Stage 13

Gomez Addams was never meant for moderation. He loves fiercely, speaks extravagantly, schemes enthusiastically, and approaches every family crisis as though it deserves ch*****ne, swordplay, and a standing ovation. Jonathan Fili dives headfirst into all of that glorious excess, bringing charm, danger, romance, and just the right amount of madness to Gomez. If your October plans are feeling a little too sensible, correct that immediately. Get your tickets here: https://stage13.org/addams-family/

Wednesday Addams would suggest you stay home and loathe your life in delightful misery. Reese Von Storch, however, would be absolutely delighted if you joined us to watch her and the rest of this incredible cast and crew bring this half dead family to life. Come for the gloom, the chaos, the dysfunction, and the wonderfully strange, dare we say, heartwarming, world of The Addams Family.

From our kooky family to your kooky family, we invite you to come spend an evening with the kookiest, spookiest family of them all. Join us for "The Addams Family Musical," where strange is celebrated, normal is suspicious, and family dysfunction is simply part of the fun. Come meet the family. You may never want to leave.

We are incredibly proud to see our dear friend, board member, and supporter, Pat Carlton, recognized as one of AY Magazine’s 2026 Intriguing Women.

Pat has been such an important part of Stage 13. Her leadership, encouragement, generosity, and genuine belief in our students and our mission have meant more to us than we can adequately express.

This wonderful article reflects what those of us fortunate enough to know Pat already understand. She is a woman of remarkable character, faith, compassion, and service, and we are grateful that Stage 13 is part of her story. Congratulations, Pat. This recognition is so well deserved.

“My sixth-grade teacher, Mrs. Bridgers, told me I was conscientious, and I’ve been inspired by her comment my whole life.”

October 28, we’re inviting you to dress as Wednesday Addams and compete for prizes at our performance of "The Addams Family Musical." Braids are expected. Black is preferable. Smiling is discouraged. Come prepared with your best deadpan stare, your most unsettling sense of calm, and enough contempt for cheerful behavior to make Wednesday Addams proud. Or at least mildly less disappointed.
Join us October 28 for our Wednesday Addams Look-Alike Contest and a delightfully spooky & kooky evening of fun! For tickets: https://stage13.org/addams-family/

A huge thank you to dancer and choreographer Todd Belin for spending time with our Pre Professional and Studio Companies yesterday!

Todd’s energy, talent, and passion for dance are incredible, and our students thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to learn from and work with such an accomplished professional.

A graduate of UA Little Rock with a BFA in Dance Performance, Todd has trained extensively in ballet, modern, jazz, tap, hip hop, choreography, and other movement styles. His professional experience includes work with Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Arkansas Festival Ballet, Ozark Ballet Theater, Afriky LoLo, ATLA Connect, Contra Tiempo, and more. He is also the founder of Moves In Motion LLC, through which he continues to teach, choreograph, mentor, and inspire performers through movement.

We are so grateful to Todd for sharing his time, expertise, and infectious energy with our students!

We know you are being pulled in a few directions this October but it would positively torture us if one of those directions didn’t lead to our production of "The Addams Family Musical." So stop resisting. We think you'll like it! For tickets visit: https://stage13.org/addams-family/

Every rehearsal, build, paint stroke, prop, costume, and design choice brings this wonderfully strange family one step closer to life. Or whatever passes for life in the Addams household.
