    The Addams Family: Family Dinner

    ONE NIGHT ONLY! JULY 17th Show! Tickets include Show Seat in Section A - Dinner - Meet the Addams Family - Two Cocktails!

    You are invited to a special evening of spooky magic as we celebrate the Opening Weekend Dinner & Show for The Addams Family at the Shelby County Community Theatre on Friday, July 17th!

    Dinner: 5:45 – 7:00 PM

    Showtime: 7:30 PM

    Enjoy a delicious catered dinner by The All The Way Shoppe as we gladly feast on those who would subdue us, featuring:

    Appetizers

    Morticia’s “Used-To-Be Pet”

    Three delightfully chilled shrimp lounging in blood-red cocktail sauce… because Morticia always prefers her pets slightly deceased.

    Lurch’s Spider Blood Soup

    A hauntingly rich tomato soup swirled with ghostly crema. Thick enough to wake the dead with one groan of “You rang?”

    Salad

    Wednesday’s “One Normal Night” Salad

    A suspiciously ordinary garden salad prepared for anyone attempting to appear “normal” for the evening. Wednesday disapproves.

    Main Course

    Pugsley’s Buzzard Pasta

    Black-and-white bowtie pasta tossed with tender chicken in a frightfully delicious dish worthy of Pugsley’s latest experiment.

    Cousin It’s Seaweed

    French-style green beans tangled together like Cousin It himself - mysterious, unruly, and impossible to tame.

    Uncle Fester’s Brains

    Steamed purple cauliflower seasoned to electrifying perfection. Shockingly tasty and strangely intelligent.

    Grandmama’s Spider Eggs

    Deviled eggs topped with creepy black olive spiders straight from Grandmama’s dusty cookbook and bubbling cauldron.

    Ophelia’s Buns

    Warm yeast rolls baked soft and golden… perfect for surviving awkward family gatherings and tragic romances.


    Dessert

    Thing’s Cemetery Dirt

    A decadently dark chocolate cake so rich it practically crawled out of the grave itself. One bite and you’ll lose a hand trying to grab more.

    Signature Drink

    Gomez’s Purple Tie

    A dangerously charming mixture of grenadine, lemonade, and vodka — smooth, dramatic, and guaranteed to sweep you off your feet like Gomez himself.

    • A cash bar will also be available throughout the evening.

    When you reserve your dinner, you will receive preferred seating and early access to tickets  with prime seats in Section A held exclusively for our dinner guests. This is a fundraiser for SCCT!

    The Lightning Thief: A Percy Jackson Musical

    Adventure awaits in The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, an action-packed, high-energy production that brings Greek mythology to life with an electrifying rock score and unforgettable characters.

    Percy Jackson has always felt like he doesn't quite fit in. But when he discovers he's actually the son of Poseidon and a real-life demigod, his world is turned upside down. Suddenly, Percy is thrust into a dangerous quest to recover Zeus's stolen master lightning bolt and prevent an all-out war among the gods.

    Joined by his loyal friends Annabeth and Grover, Percy must battle fearsome monsters, outwit powerful enemies, and journey to the Underworld in a race against time. Along the way, he discovers the true meaning of friendship, courage, and believing in himself.

    Filled with humor, heart, thrilling adventure, and music that rocks, The Lightning Thief is a spectacular experience for fans of the bestselling book series and newcomers alike. Whether you're a demigod at heart or simply love an epic adventure, this exciting musical promises a heroic journey you'll never forget.

    Grab your tickets and join the quest—because destiny is calling, and adventure waits for no one!
