Alumna returning to Maine for ‘The Addams Family’ on March 25

She is neither creepy nor kooky, neither mysterious nor spooky, nor even altogether ooky. Yet University of Maine alumna Megan Howell still earned an opportunity to play music for a national touring production of “The Addams Family” musical, which will be performed at 7 p.m. March 25 at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor.

Prior to the performance, Howell and tourmate Josh Roberts will offer UMaine students a masterclass at 1 p.m. in Minsky Recital Hall. 

Howell graduated from UMaine’s music education program in 2021. After obtaining her master’s degree in multiple woodwinds from Oklahoma City University, she became a touring pit musician, helping to bring large productions to life night after night in venues all across the country. Along the way, she’s been visiting educational institutions to share her experiences, offer masterclasses, coach and participate in Q&A sessions with aspiring student musicians.

To learn more about Howell’s experiences at UMaine and as a professional musician, read the full Q&A with her on the School of Performing Arts’ website.
