(L-R) Theatre seniors Logan Russell and Joey Morfogen greet each other onstage in the midst of the Theatre Departments dress rehearsal of The Addams Family. Trying to find the right grunt took actually a lot more time and effort than I originally anticipated. I would end my days with a very sore throat from all of the experimenting with my voice until I found just the right moan. I get in character by imagining all of my foreboding college deadlines, schoolwork and everything in-between, said Russell, who plays Lurch in the musical. Tickets are currently on sale for The Addams Family, which opens on Oct. 28 and closes on Nov. 6. The Addams Family truly is a family. Everyone involved in the show, whether actor or production, has been extremely supportive and has allowed me to achieve a level of confidence that I did not imagine possible, said Russell.
