SDJT is excited to offer “Pay What You Can” performances for the first Friday night of every production in our Off-Park series at Roosevelt Middle School.
“Pay What You Can” Fridays have been generously underwritten by an anonymous donor to ensure that Junior Theatre is accessible to new families who may not otherwise have the means to attend a production. “Pay What You Can Fridays” supports the organization’s mission of accessibility and affordability for all members of the community.
“Pay What You Can” tickets are limited to (4) four per family and are available at the box office, one hour before the performance (6:00 pm). Offer is based on seating availability and tickets will be sold on a first-come first-serve basis until sold out.
A suggested donation of $5.00 per family is requested, however any amount will be accepted. To take advantage of this offer, “Pay What You Can” families must be first-time attendees and provide family contact information including name, email and zip code.

SDJT presents The Addams Family
The Addams Family and San Diego Junior Theatre invite you to kick off Junior Theatre’s 67th Season in Balboa Park
Students from throughout San Diego County are performing in San Diego Junior Theatre’s premiere production of The Addams Family. The musical tells the story of Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, who has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family — a man her parents have never met. When Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother, 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, a musical based on the characters Charles Addams created 50 years ago, runs October 24 through November 9 with an ASL-interpreted performance on November 8. Tickets range from $11 to $15 and are available online at juniortheatre.com or by calling (619) 239-8355.
Children will be free with the purchase of an adult ticket for the Halloween night performance. Children will enjoy trick-or-treating on stage and participation in an audience-wide costume contest.
Directed by San Diego Junior Theatre’s artistic director, Rayme Sciaroni, The Addams Family is a show packed with great songs and hilarious characters, and is one that will entertain the whole family.
