Ashlyn Swedberg… Wednesday
Ashlyn is beyond thrilled to perform in her first NYT production and her thirty-second musical overall! As a senior in high school, Ashlyn hopes to pursue musical theater when she graduates. In “Full Disclosure,” this amazing show may not be “One Normal Night,” but the whole audience will definitely be “Pulled” in a new direction. She gives a huge thank you to her castmates and directors for putting on this fantastic musical and for her family’s endless support! All glory to God! Enjoy the show!
Zavien McNair… Pugsley

He would like to thank God, his family, and friends for all their love and support.
Kathryn “Ohio” Palmer… Alice
Kathryn never thought she’d see the day that her geographical nickname and her character’s state of origin would converge, but it’s happening, on her 10th NYT show, no less. She’s very excited to be in The Addams Family! You may also remember her from such roles as Helena in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Mother Superior in Sister Act, Portia in Something Rotten, and Miranda in The Tempest. She’d like to thank her ever-supportive family, and formally apologize for the kookiness of this show. It’s off the charts, someone really should’ve issued a warning for the sake of those lacking whimsy.
