IN THE KNOW
What's Happening at Trollwood?
Sun Celebration was an amazing success! Tremendous job to all of the students who performed and participated at Sun Celebration - you all were incredible! And thank you to everybody who came out to support our students and show them that this community appreciates the performing arts! Sun Celebration marked the end of Trollwood Academy, Totally Trollwood Academy, and Trollwood Conservatory and we can't believe they're already over. June absolutely flew by!
Thank you to the It Takes 2 with Amy and JJ radio show from KFGO for doing a live broadcast from Trollwood on Wednesday! They spent the majority of the three-hour broadcast talking about Trollwood and promoting Sun Celebration and all of our programs!
And thank you to the generous vendors, Coca Cola, Face the Rainbow Face Painting, Tropical Sno, Black Bird Woodfire Pizza, and Bomb Dog for helping make this a special night!
The cast and orchestra of The Addams Family came together for the first time this week at sitzprobe on Monday and Tuesday. It was an incredible sound as the voices of the singers combined with the music of the orchestra to really get a feel for how the performance will sound.
We're looking forward to our July programming as Totally Trollwood Musical, Trollwood Children's Theatre, and The Trollwood Players are set to kick off and ArtSpark returns for its July sessions. Totally Trollwood Musical begins with orientation next Monday, July 1, while Trollwood Children's Theatre and Trollwood Players begin rehearsal on Monday, July 15. There are still opportunities to sign up for ArtSpark sessions July 15-19 and 22-26!

MAINSTAGE MUSICAL 2024
The Addams Family - Tickets on Sale Now!
The Addams Family, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every 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 wasn’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.
Sneak Peek
Members of the Mainstage Musical cast gave a sneak peek of The Addams Family during the Sunshine Showcase at Sun Celebration as they performed the song "When You're an Addams." Check out photos below!
