Careers in the Performing Arts Distance Learning Program “The Addams Family”

The Addams Family is a musical comedy with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and a book by
Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. The show is based upon The Addams Family characters created
by Charles Addams in his single-panel gag cartoons, which depict a ghoulish American family with
an affinity for all things macabre. Numerous film and television adaptations of Addams' cartoons
exist, but the musical, which is the first stage show based on the characters, is based upon the cartoons
rather than the television and film characters.

Careers in Cartooning

Unlike visual artists, cartoonists are artists who communicate ideas through a
combination of words and pictures. They use their work to tell stories, instruct and
guide, and offer commentary on life and society. Cartoons can be used to present
important issues to millions of people in an easily understood form. One of the most
important qualities of a good cartoonist is the ability to present an idea in just a few
words and a drawing. The drawings usually feature exaggerated actions that somehow
reveal human nature. Sometimes cartoonists dream up their ideas, but they often read
and study the news to get fresh concepts for their work.


Join us on March 28 as cartoonist E.J. Farbarik discusses and sketches his career in
cartooning.

Careers in Construction “Focus on Flooring Installers and Sheet Metal Workers”
