The Clover High School Choral Department presents a spring production that is creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky, and all together ooky. It’s The Addams Family!

Based on characters created by Charles Addams in his single panel gag cartoons, this new musical depicts a ghoulish American family with an affinity for all things macabre.

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.

The Addams Family will be presented by the Clover High Choraliers, and the Men’s and Women’s Ensembles on

Thursday, April 10, at 7:00pm,

Saturday, April 12, at 3:00pm and 7:00pm, and

Sunday, April 13, at 3:00pm.

     Clover School District Auditorium first opened the doors to the public on November 10, 1994.  The very first event was A Salute to the Arts and featured performances by both Clover High and Junior High School Band and Chorus students.  A visual art exhibit was on display in the lobby greeting guests as they entered.

     Grand Ole Opry comedian Jerry Clower was the first professional artist to appear on stage.  Since then the stage has welcomed Grammy Award winners George Winston, Kathy Mattea, Alison Brown, Mark O’Connor, The Kingston Trio, Jimmy Webb, and David Holt. 

     Concerts by The National Symphony Orchestra, The President’s Own Marine Band along with other military service bands and ensembles have graced the stage. 

     Celebrities like Queen Latifah, John Davidson, Jerry Clower, and Jerry Reed have also appeared here.   Dabo Swinney, Perry Tuttle, and Frank Reich are just a few of the sports personalities that have been on stage. 

       Comedies and dramas from the legendary Barter Theatre and Springer Opera House have been performed here.  

     And finally, there have been literally hundreds of local, state, regional, national and international artists performing for audiences of all ages.

     But, the auditorium is just not a performance place.  It is also a learning place.  It is a laboratory for the science of acoustics, light, optics, and mechanics.  It is a classroom for public speaking, lectures, and debates.  It is a workshop for stage craft, acting, dancing, singing, playing an instrument, and performing.  It is a training facility for future stage hands, audio, lighting, and video operators designers, engineers, and technicians.  It is a learning office for facility management, box office sales, and event planning.

     It is an extraordinary place where ordinary people join together to share in a common experience that hopefully makes ourselves and our world all the better.

      Each year, the auditorium calendar fills with school events.  Then the doors open outward to community users.  Over a million people each year pass through these doors to see their child in a play, perform a solo in a concert, dance with their classmates, enjoy works of art, or receive an award or scholarship.  Others may take in a touring performance or attend a company meeting.    

     All have been given the opportunity to laugh, cry, dance, sing, and show their pride in family, friends, faith, and community because of the vision educational and community leaders had nearly twelve years prior to the first brick being placed!

     CSDA proudly continues its mission to educate, enlighten, enrich, and entertain.  We are grateful to have been trusted with this in the past, and we are honored to continue it into the future.
