Addams Family young@part at Apalachee Tapestry Magnet School of the Arts.

“They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky, they’re altogether ooky!” Apalachee Tapestry Magnet School of the Arts (ATMSA) presents THE ADDAMS FAMILY Young@Part—featuring an original story and it's every father's nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family - a man her parents have never met. And if that weren't upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he's never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's "normal" boyfriend and his parents. The show is cast with students in kindergarten 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th graders.  Show dates are March 10 and 12 at 6:30 for more information call 850-488-7110.

ATMSA was established in 1999 as Leon County’s first elementary magnet school. Since then, ATMSA has excelled in enhancing student education through artistic emphasis. ATMSA infuses standard state-approved curricula with creative arts and cutting-edge technology as a means to improve the quality of education for the “whole” child. The goal of the educators and staff at ATMSA is to help students develop a passion for learning while nurturing their existing creativity. Each child receives intensive fine art instruction that also encourages academic excellence. Grades K-3 receive creative infusion through visual art, drama, music and graphic arts, in addition to traditional special-area classes. Grades 4-5 continue to receive additional creative infusion as well as traditional special area offerings. However, students at these levels may choose specific areas of art focus to refine their creative experiences.
