They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky, they’re all together ooky — and they’re the latest residents of Abrams, WI. Join the fun this fall with one of the most infamous families around in, “The Abrams Family.” Let Me Be Frank Productions’ next show in their 25th season of entertainment takes place at the Meyer Theatre, September 13-October 12, 2024. “The Abrams Family” is sponsored by Diamonds and Gold Green Bay and Festival Foods.
Moving to a new city is always a tough adjustment, especially when you’re a bizarre and slightly terrifying crew — the Abrams family. Head of the household, Gomez, has moved his family across the country from New Jersey to the Northwoods of Wisconsin. He acquired a new job working for the Oconto County Highway Department, picking up roadkill each night. The family invites his new boss, Jim Naseum, over for dinner. Can Jim handle being around their unusual family ways, and can he stomach what Grandma is cooking? While the family tries to be as hospitable as they know how, Jim might have an ulterior motive for being on their property. When the family discovers he’s got some secrets of his own, they use a few of their special (more like disturbing…) tactics on him. Will he make it out of the meal in one piece? You’ll have to see for yourself in this all-new hilarious musical comedy.
