The Addams Family Cast

Hi my name is Vincent Rima and I’m playing Gomez Addams. This is my second show with TJ and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with these incredible people. The last show I did with TJ was Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief that was also my debut show for TJ musical theater and it was a pure joy to do. I have done a lot of musicals in my time. I did four musicals in elementary school. I also auditioned for our school play in middle school but got canceled due to covid. The Lightning Thief was my first show back and made me fall in love with theater again.

Caitlin Schuyleman is a sophomore at Thomas Jefferson high school. Previously, she has played the Oracle in Thomas Jefferson’s production of The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical and as a Rafiki in her elementary school production of Disney's The Lion King Jr. A fun fact: her favorite color is yellow

Hi I’m Nevaeh Vera, I’m 16 and a sophomore here at TJ. This is my second show (the first being The Lightning Thief last year) and I’m playing Fester Addams :)

Virgil McIntosh (Wednesday Addams) is delighted with their debut at TJ. Recent credits include Rise Of The House Of Usher. I'm here for a good time, not a long time! Ahahahahahahahahahah.

Hello my name is Lilas Maurer and I have been doing musical theater at Thomas Jefferson for the past 4 years. And this year I was given the opportunity to be dance captain and help out this wonderful cast. I am so proud of you all and I see all of your hard work!! You might have seen me as Charlie in Working, or as Chiron's rear in Percy Jackson. I would like to dedicate my last performance at TJ to my Father and Papa, both of whom I am honored to have had in my life.

Hi my name is Gavin McCoskery I’m a senior and this is my second year doing theater for TJ but my 6th show. I did some plays in middle school, like Charlie and Chocolate Factory and The Outsiders. Last year I was part of the tech and was a spotlight operator along with building a good chunk of the set from last year. I am playing the part of Lurch in this show. This a fun and very interesting role to do because of the lack of detail he has to him. So I had some freedom in the things he does. Thank you for reading a bit about me and enjoy the show.

Hi I'm Amelia. My friends call me Mei, and I'm a senior at TJ. Being a part of this performance is really special to me. The character I'm playing is Grandma. This character really brings out the best part of me. They make me more confident in myself. I've never felt so close to the rest of the cast. My favorite part of this process is bonding and caring for each other. This is my second musical. I hope that you guys enjoy the show.

Dean Marshall is a Senior currently enrolled in the Running Start program at Highline College. This is Dean's first high school play, but he has been a part of 4 other shows at Centerstage theater. Other things he like to do in his free time is bake and play Magic the Gathering (yes he is a nerd). Thank you for coming and hope you enjoy the show!

Aiden’s enthusiasm for performance and capturing moments through the lens shines through in all his endeavors.

Hello everyone! My name is Doris, I’m a senior and your Student Assistant Director for this year! Previously, I was an actor these last few years in “Working: A Musical” and “Lightning Thief the Musical” however, this time around I got to work with actors on a director level! Watching everyone grow and blossom into their role has truly been a joy. I don’t think I’ve smiled and shared as many laughs as I did if not for the amazing people I have had the pleasure to meet. I truly couldn’t be prouder of this cast and crew who worked day in and day out to bring this play to you. From the bottom of my heart, please enjoy the play from start to finish. Thank you!

Hi, my name is Drake Muchow and this is my first year at Thomas Jefferson. I have been interested in performing arts ever since my family and some teachers over at St. Vincent put the thought in my head. This is an amazing group of classmates to be working with and I'm really excited for the opportunity to learn from them in future years. I hope to be in many more performances here at TJHS. Enjoy the show!
