Sing-A-Long with the Sound of MusicThe Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society presents

THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family - a man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents.

Elvis Aaron Presley remains the most significant cultural icon of our time, and thirty-six years after his death his legions of fans keep growing as does his legacy. There will never be another “King” but there are those few that come closer than the rest and Adam Fitzpatrick is one of those select few that does. With his growing reputation of excellence as an Elvis Tribute Artist, Adam is fast gaining worldwide recognition for his natural ability to capture the magnificent passion Elvis had for music and the electrifying appeal with which Elvis dominated the stage, on and off. Adam performs all 3 eras of Elvis’ musical career: The high energy moves of the 50’s, the dynamic intensity of the ’68 Comeback Special and the powerful, charismatic vocals of the Vegas years; complete with authentic stage wear appropriate to the era. Dedication, hard work and the utmost respect for the legendary entertainer and his music is evident in every show Adam presents, thrilling audiences everywhere.
