Elyria Catholic students and alumni, under the direction of Mr. Kevin Juguilon and Mrs. Kelsie Stites presented the musical comedy The Addams Family on July 21, 23, and 24 on the new stage in the Performing Arts Center. The Addams Family was originally scheduled to premiere in March of 2020. While all roles were offered to the original cast, some were unable to participate and many other alumni shared their talents. Thus a new EC tradition has begun, Panther Alumni Summer Theater.
