Ellyn began her theatre career performing with her high school’s (Chatsworth ‘84) Thespian Troupe. Her theatrical career was then put on hold as she earned her teaching credential from Cal State Northridge, taught elementary school, and had two sons -both of whom joined theatre at OPHS. It was at that time, 2011, she was cast in her favorite role: ‘ theatre mom’ and began her journey with OPHS arts, eventually becoming OPPAA President. Ellyn then moved into the role of Production Manager in 2015, and is thrilled to have taken on the role of Director last year. She also serves as the Thespian Troupe Advisor since chartering the Troupe in 2014. Ellyn is honored to be directing her fourth show at Oak Park High School and collaborating with the best creative team- Zachary Borquez, Stacy McClamma, Casey Denning and Noah Kratt. It has been an absolute dream working with such talented actors, designers, and musicians-congratulations to you all! A special thank you to Ed, Kyle, Kelly, Tammi, Vivi, Iris, Roxy & Evan for all of their help getting the production on its feet. She would also like to thank her family for their love and support. And to our audience, thank you for joining us as we present “The Addams Family”. Enjoy the show!
Born and raised in Southern California, Zachary Borquez started playing the trombone in 4th grade, although his primary instrument is the trumpet. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Music (Composition) from the University of California, Davis. He earned his Master of Music degree in Conducting as well as his Teaching Credential from California State University, Northridge. Mr. Borquez is super excited to work on the school musical each year because it is truly the full collaboration of the performing arts (dramatic and scenic art, vocal and instrumental music and dance). Congrats to ALL the students involved in the production and a huge thank you to the dedicated parents who help to make the program what it is!
Stacy McClamma is from Orlando, Florida and has been teaching and directing for over fifteen years. She received her Bachelor's of Music Education from the University of Central Florida, with a specialization in Piano and Elementary Education. She has taught at various elementary, middle, and high schools and is currently the Choir and Strings director at Oak Park High School.

Congratulations to everyone who is involved in the show!
CASEY DENNING-CHOREOGRAPHER Casey is thrilled to be returning to choreograph her 10th show at OPHS. Having performed in several musicals herself, The Addams Family was by far one of her favorites to work on. She would like to thank the cast and crew, Ellyn, Zach, Stacy, Noah and Ed for all their hard work they put into this show. She would also like to give a shoutout to her parents for their support, her dance teachers from Retters Academy of Dance for their guidance, and Sean for having to put up with her singing the soundtrack for about 3 months straight. Enjoy the show!
OPPAA is a community of volunteers committed to promoting and supporting the theatre arts program at OPHS. OPPAA funds the productions through donations and produces the Fall and Spring performances. We provide support in all areas of production, from costumes to sets to concessions to ticket sales and everything in between. OPPAA also provides annual scholarships for performing arts seniors who intend to continue their education in performing arts related fields. Our goal is to encourage and guide students in all aspects of theatre and give them the opportunity to cultivate, grow and learn about the areas of production that interest them both on and off stage. Most importantly, we hope the students learn to love theatre!
"Act well your part; there all the honor lies." The International Thespian Society (ITS) is an internationally recognized honor society for theatre students that promotes and recognizes student excellence in the theatre arts. There are ITS Troupes at high schools and middle schools across the United States and abroad. Students earn membership by participating in productions and accumulating points based on their theatre work. For more information visit schooltheatre.org. Formed in Fall of 2014, our troupe started with just a few enthusiastic theatre kids who had been involved in productions at Oak Park High School. They wanted to expand their theatre experiences and bring more visibility to the community. With the guidance of a couple of dedicated theatre moms, these students chartered Troupe 6074 of The International Thespian Society. As a troupe we aim to raise awareness for the importance of theatre arts and education through philanthropy, promotion, and being a positive community influence. We incorporate unique individualistic qualities to form a unified group that stands for cooperation, compassion, creativity and communication through theatre.
Thank you!
