Meet our incredible stage managers and assistant choreographer, the calm in the chaos and the masters of controlled mayhem. From tracking props to finding the snacks to demonstrating dance moves, they keep everything running like clockwork even when the rest of us are running on caffeine and limited sleep.

We’re so lucky to have this talented, hardworking team making the magic happen behind the scenes. We couldn't do this without their energy, their hustle, and their ability to yell louder than anyone else when necessary.

Thank you for being the magic behind the magic!

Behind every spooky snap, eerie echo, and perfectly timed cue is our incredible Technical Director, Mr. Siroskey! Whether he’s at the soundboard, wrangling mics, or calmly fixing something that magically broke five minutes before showtime, he’s the man making the magic happen.

We’re so lucky to have his expertise, patience, and cool-under-pressure energy guiding our tech crew. Thank you, Mr. Siroskey, for keeping the Addams Family loud, clear, and creepy! 💀🎭
