MiraCosta College announced that its MiraCosta Alumni Association will host a reception and exclusive Q&A on March 18 before a showing of the college’s spring musical, The Addams Family. The Q&A will feature Christopher “Thing” Hart, the accomplished actor and magician known for his portrayal of Thing in The Addams Family movie series. 

The MiraCosta Alumni Association event, which is open to current alumni members along with their families and friends, will be an opportunity for alumni to network with the MiraCosta College community. Following the reception at 5:45 p.m., guests will sit down for a special conversation and Q&A with the spring musical director, Tracy Williams, and actor Christopher “Thing” Hart.

“We’re thrilled to provide our alumni with this unique opportunity to meet one of the original Addams Family actors in Christopher Hart,” shared Tracy Williams, director of the MiraCosta spring musical, The Addams Family. “It’s not every day that you get to hear stories from one of the original actors from The Addams Family, and to do so right before our very own MiraCosta actors take the stage is particularly special.”

Directed by Tracy Williams with music direction from Heather Megill and choreography by Dave Massey, the spring musical will bring to life the famed fictional family created by American cartoonist Charles Addams in 1938. The MiraCosta College spring musical will run for two consecutive weekends beginning Thursday, March 9.
