Wednesday and Her Wacky Family Debut at the Bianconi Theatre!
Well, gather round, ladies and gents, because it’s that time again! The Bianconi Theater in Carbognano is rolling out the welcome mat for a show that’s about as charming as a horror movie marathon on a Tuesday afternoon. Yes, you’ve guessed it! On Sunday, November 10, 2024, at 4:00 PM, it’s time for the family to get funky with the one and only Wednesday and her Crazy Family!
The Addams Family: Odd Is the New Normal!
Now, if you thought your family was strange, wait until you meet Morticia and Gomez Addams! Living in a delightful old house located inside a cemetery—because what’s family without a dash of morbidity, right?—these two parents are currently facing the biggest conundrum since someone invented the first vegetable: their daughter Wednesday has been kicked out of boarding school for playing a few naughty games. I mean, come on! Haven’t we all played a dangerous game or two? Mine usually involved a dare to eat a whole meal without chewing!
Who comes to the rescue but none other than the *colorfully fabulous* Barbie herself! With their worlds colliding in the most unexpected way, Wednesday—who’s about as cheerful as a black cat in a coal mine—is set to be coached by the bubbly doll to fit in with “normal” kids. Spoiler alert: normal is *so* overrated.
Diversity, Fun, and Giggles Galore!
The charm of this production lies in its light handling of diversity—because what’s a better way to teach kids about acceptance than through the antics of a family that makes outside-the-box thinking look like mainstream living? Who knew that embracing the weird could be the life lesson we didn’t know we needed?
The show is brought to life by I Ridikulus, a Roman troupe known for tickling the funny bone of even the most serious adults—yes, even your grumpy Uncle Albert. Their mission with “THEATER FOR FAMILIES” is to upend that tired, cliché ‘children’s theatre’ concept. According to the company’s head honcho, Massimo De Giorgio, they aim to entertain both kids and adults alike, proving that *everyone* can appreciate good comedy that doesn’t involve someone slipping on a banana peel. Not that I’m against slapstick—in fact, it’s probably my favorite kind of comedy *after* puns, of course!
Get Ready for Giggles!
So, roll up for an afternoon filled with fun, laughter, and a few life lessons tucked between the punchlines. The Bianconi Theater promises an experience that’s not just a “day out”—it’s a family bonding session where the bizarre meets hilarity. Can you think of a better way to spend your Sunday afternoon than with the Addams Family and their peculiar brand of charm?
For tickets and more information on this surreal soirée, just hop on over to the Teatro Bianconi website or give them a cheeky ring at 340.1045098. Trust me, it will be a scream—pun definitely intended!
In Conclusion: Why Not Join the Circus… I Mean, Theater?
Let’s face it—the theater is a magical place where anything can happen, and sometimes it shakes the family tree until all the nuts fall down. So get your tickets and prepare to embrace the kooky chaos that only a surreal experience like *Wednesday and her Crazy Family* can provide. See you there—if you dare!
CARBOGNANO (Viterbo) – The quaint Bianconi Theater in Carbognano is gearing up for an exciting new season after its Prose Season debut, with the first performance of the Family Theater program kicking off on Sunday, November 10, 2024, at 4:00 pm. This inaugural show, titled Wednesday and Her Crazy Family, marks the start of an entertaining series featuring 6 delightful performances designed for audiences of all ages. Families can look forward to an afternoon packed with laughter, captivating surprises, and the kind of magical experiences that only live theater can deliver.
The quirky and hilarious Addams family resides in an eccentric mansion nestled within a cemetery. They find themselves in a tight spot when their peculiar daughter, Wednesday, is expelled from her boarding school due to her “strange” and dangerous antics.
In an effort to help their moody and gloomy daughter, Morticia and Gomez recruit a most extraordinary mentor: the vibrant and cheerful Barbie. Her mission is to guide young Addams in learning how to behave like a “normal” child, leading to unexpected and humorous interactions.
This entertaining and innovative show tackles the important theme of diversity with a light-hearted touch, making it not just a performance but an experience that resonates with the audience.
All performances are expertly produced and crafted by I Ridikulus, a Roman company renowned for its engaging comedies and family-oriented shows. Their initiative, “THEATER FOR FAMILIES,” is dedicated to encouraging families to embrace regular visits to the theater. Massimo De Giorgio, from the company, emphasizes, “For our company, ‘children’s theatre’ defies the traditional notion of being a simple, dull show intended solely for kids. We view children as thoughtful individuals, and it’s essential for adults to be equally engaged and entertained. With over 15 years in the industry, we take pride in delivering joy, amusement, and even a few enlightening lessons.”
We warmly invite everyone to join us at the Bianconi Theater in Carbognano for an unforgettable afternoon of fun and entertainment!

**Interview with Massimo De Giorgio, Artistic Director of I Ridikulus**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Massimo! Excitement is in the air for the upcoming show *Wednesday and Her Crazy Family* at the Bianconi Theater. Can you share what inspired this production?
**Massimo De Giorgio:** Absolutely! We wanted to create a show that not only entertains but also teaches valuable lessons about acceptance and diversity. The Addams Family embodies the concept of “embracing the weird,” and we thought it was a perfect way to communicate that being different is something to celebrate, not shy away from.
**Interviewer:** That sounds wonderful! How do you plan to engage both kids and adults in the audience?
**Massimo De Giorgio:** Our troupe, I Ridikulus, has always focused on crafting a unique brand of family-friendly humor that appeals to all ages. We aim for comedy that evokes genuine laughter, often intertwining clever puns and quirky scenarios. We know that if the adults are enjoying themselves, the kids will naturally follow suit!
**Interviewer:** We already can’t wait to see the chemistry between Wednesday and Barbie. What can audiences expect from their unexpected pairing?
**Massimo De Giorgio:** It’s going to be wild! The contrast between Wednesday’s gothic demeanor and Barbie’s bright, bubbly personality creates a rich comedic dynamic. Audiences will witness hilarity as Wednesday navigates what it means to ‘fit in’ with the so-called ‘normal’ crowd—it’s a humorous take on the absurdity of trying to conform.
**Interviewer:** It seems like you’ve got a great balance of fun and important messages. How does the venue, the charming Bianconi Theater, enhance the show?
**Massimo De Giorgio:** The Bianconi Theater has a magical atmosphere that resonates with live performances. Its intimate setting allows for a personal experience, where laughter and reaction become shared moments between the cast and audience. It’s a wonderful place to bring families together for a joyful afternoon of entertainment that feels just as special as it is unique.
**Interviewer:** what do you hope families take away from seeing *Wednesday and Her Crazy Family*?
**Massimo De Giorgio:** I hope they leave with a renewed appreciation for their own quirks and the beautiful chaos of family life. My ultimate wish is for families to embrace the notion that being weird is wonderful—it’s what makes us human. Through laughter, we can learn acceptance and celebrate what makes each of us special!
**Interviewer:** Thank you for sharing, Massimo! We can’t wait to see the show on November 10th. It sounds like a fantastic experience for everyone!
