This month we break our own rules, fea­tur­ing more than the music of the stage. If you can’t break your own rules in Octo­ber, when CAN you break them? Today we explore the musi­cal lega­cy of The Addams Fam­i­ly which includes the 1960s tele­vi­sion show, the films (both live action and ani­mat­ed) and the stage musical.

Join us at Haunt­ed Hol­low on Chest­nut Hills in #Sec­ondlife at 2pm pacific/slt on Sat­ur­day, Octo­ber 15, or tune in and lis­ten to the show live on Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio. Host Cale­do­nia Sky­tow­er is joined by Guest Kay­den Ocon­nell – actor, musi­cian, and sup­port­er of the arts in both 1^st & 2^nd Lives – who played Uncle Fes­ter in a local pro­duc­tion  of the stage musical.

They’re creepy and they’re kooky,

Mys­te­ri­ous and spooky

They’re all togeth­er “ooky”
