Good morning, Scioto County. The curtain rises this weekend on a delightfully macabre family affair as Ironton High School students bring "The Addams Family Musical" to life. Despite an abbreviated two-month rehearsal schedule, this talented cast of 18 has rallied behind first-time drama director Thaddeus Stambaugh to create what promises to be a comedic yet heartwarming production. For just $10-15, you can witness Wednesday Addams' unlikely romance unfold on stage Friday through Sunday.
In the courtroom, a jury has delivered its verdict in a violent burglary case, finding 67-year-old Ricky McKnight guilty of felonious assault with sentencing scheduled for April 16. On a more uplifting note, the Foundation for the Tri-State has established the Mary Witten Wiseman Endowment, honoring the retired CEO's remarkable 30-year legacy of community service. The fund ensures her vision of improving the Tri-State region will continue for generations to come.
