Sherman’s Addams Family run continues Thursday, with free tickets offered for grades 6–12

Sherman Community Players’ production of The Addams Family Musical returns Thursday, Oct. 8, for the next performances in its October run at Finley Theater, 500 N. Elm St.

The company’s ticket page offers free tickets for students in grades 6–12, with those seats arranged by calling the box office at 903-892-8818 rather than using the regular online purchase links.

Eight performances remain on the schedule after this weekend: Oct. 8, 9 and 10 at 7:30 p.m.; Oct. 11 at 2 p.m.; Oct. 15, 16 and 17 at 7:30 p.m.; and Oct. 18 at 2 p.m.

The comedy follows the Addams family as Wednesday introduces a boyfriend whose family is very different from her own. The ticket page lists the production as rated PG.

Regular mainstage prices are $25 for adults and $20 for seniors 65 and older and students. Patrons should check the ticket page for their chosen performance and any charges added during booking; this listing does not guarantee seat availability.
