Addams Family The Musical (School Edition) is a production of the SVHS Theatre Arts Department. As our first musical since “You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown” in March 2020, the department is eager to see you in the audience! The Addams Family started as a television show in 1964, with three new adaptations of the show since, three movies, and you guessed it, a musical. This production follows the family's reaction to Wednesday's new boyfriend and his family at a dinner party, where chaos ensues.

Simi's Theater Department is run by our very own Shanda Bonn (AKA Madame Bonn, also the SVHS French Teacher).  The department participates in various events over the school year including DTASC Fall Festival/Competition; a class-exclusive fall production; an open audition spring musical; and a spring showcase. 

This year at DTASC, we finished with Honorable Mention in Set Design and took home the 5th place trophy in the Small Group Acting-Best Picture Nominee category for our rendition of Disney-Pixar's Up! Our fall production this year was “The Internet Is Distract- Oh Look A Kitten!” presented by our Drama class.

Drama Club meets Fridays during lunch with over 20 active members, with students from both inside and outside of the theatre class. We play theater games and serve as a production team for the shows.

Our program is completely self-supporting. All funds through fundraisers, ticket sales, snack bar, etc., help us pay for performance rights ("royalties"), script rentals/purchases, tech costs (sets, props, costumes, lighting, sound, etc.), field trips to see professional theatre, and workshop fees for visiting artists.
