June 23, 2023 – Valley Youth Theatre and the Herberger Theater Center are delighted to announce a spine-tingling partnership to produce the acclaimed musical The Addams Family at Herberger Theater Center in Stage West, opening Friday the 13th of October, and running through October 29, 2023.
“This is a fantastic show and we knew the best way to get everyone in the spooky spirit would be to team up with our friends at the Herberger Theater Center, and give The Addams Family the grand stage it deserves,” said Valley Youth Theatre Producing Artistic Director Bobb Cooper.
“We celebrate the long history that the Herberger Theater Center and Valley Youth Theatre have together and are thrilled that we are able to provide a larger audience to this show which is sure to please,” said Herberger Theater Center President and CEO Mark Mettes.
