East Clare Musical Society presents ‘The Addams Family’
19th – 22nd February, Scarriff Community Hall
The East Clare Musical Society will return to the stage this February with an hilariously ghoulish show that is sure to blow the January cobwebs off our audience.
“THE ADDAMS FAMILY” will run from the 19th to the 22nd February 2026 in Scariff Community College Hall with curtain up at 19:30pm Thurs-Sat and 18:30pm for the Sunday performance. Tickets are available online now.
Led by our brilliant Director & Choreographer Sarah Allen, and our trusty Musical Director Sarah King, this ‘spooktacular’ musical brings the delightfully demented Addams family to life in an original, kooky adventure – a spooky, hilarious, and surprisingly heartwarming production that promises to captivate audiences of all ages!
Step into the ghoulishly grand world of Gomez (Conor McGrath), Morticia (Louise O’Callaghan), Wednesday (Cara Hely), Pugsley (Laura Dawson), Uncle Fester (Michael Hartigan) and the whole macabre clan! This hit Broadway musical faces the Addams with every parent’s worst nightmare: their daughter, Wednesday, has fallen in love with a sweet, ‘normal’ boy, Lucas Beineke (Rhys Mc Namara) from a ‘respectable’ family. When the Addams meet Mal (Stephen Byrne) and Alice Beinke (Aoife Daly) for dinner, chaos, confusion, and spectral ancestors ensue! With a fantastic score and witty book, this show is a celebration of what it truly means to be ‘normal.’
A Talented Local Cast: Our passionate performers have been working tirelessly to bring you a show filled with energy, emotion, and exceptional talent, embodying the spirit of this iconic, creepy family. You will see some recognisable faces in some unforgettable performances (Ger Treacy as Lurch and Patricia Coyne as Grandma Addams, for example). This is an ECMS debut for Cara Hely as Wednesday and Stephen Byrne as Mal Beineke and boy, are they going to blow your socks off! And of course, we have ‘The Ancestors’, our ensemble cast, some of whom are returning members and others that are taking to the stage with ECMS for the first time.
From the gothic glamour of the Addams’ mansion to the macabre costumes, every detail is crafted to create a visual feast of gloom and glee. Perfect for audiences of all ages (who enjoy dark humour!), this production is a wonderful way to enjoy live theatre with a dash of the dramatic and the morbid.
Anyone who attended the 20th anniversary show “Joseph & his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat” in 2025 will attest to the quality of the entertainment on stage, and the gracious hospitality off stage, by the East Clare Musical Society’s hosts.
Join The East Clare Musical Society as we take to the stage, once again, to entertain you with your favourite songs from the musicals, sung by these highly talented people from all over the hills of East Co. Clare. Tickets are
