Harbor Playhouse's 'The Addams Family' is a monster hit
When I think of "The Addams Family," my mind immediately goes to the 1991 and 1993 films. So, when I heard that Harbor Playhouse was putting on a production about the spooky family, I was expecting something from those beloved movies. While the musical has nothing to do with the films, its story is hilarious and heartwarming and will have you snapping your fingers as often as you can. The comedic musical tells the story of how Wednesday Addams, portrayed by Riley Spencer, gets engaged to her "normal" boyfriend and realizes both families now have to meet if they want the approval of their parents. Meanwhile, Uncle Fester falls in love with the moon, Pugsley has reservations about his older sister getting married, both families keep secrets from each other and an occasional puppet pops up. Fall is here: Find your pick at these Corpus Christi area pumpkin patches Characters include the Addams family, the Beineke family (Wednesday's boyfriend's clan) and the spirits of the Addams' ancestors. There were several thespians who really stuck out to me. Lilli Hinojosa as Morticia was sultry and commanding whenever she took the stage. Hanna Prince, portraying Pugsley, will have you wiping away tears

Adalberto Zanes, who has lived in the U.S. for 32 years, was detained about a month ago, his friends and supporters shared during the event. "Adalberto has been in a detention center for over a month now," friend Melissa Zamora said. "He was taken into ICE custody on his way to work, blocked in by ICE vehicles. He was pulled out of his car and into the street all while he was just trying to get to work." Zanes founded the Kalpulli Ehekatl Papalotizin, which means Venerable Butterfly of the Wind, in Corpus Christi in 2011. The group has performed at events in Corpus Christi.
