Charles Addams: A New York State of Mind, Oct. 29

Pulled from the Facebook event listing:

Missing Manhattan amidst the pandemic? We’re bringing the energy of the city to Westfield during AddamsFest! 

Tee & Charles Addams Foundation Director Kevin Miserocchi sits down with Westfield resident and Inside Edition correspondent Les Trent for an intimate fireside chat about the saucy side of his friend Charlie’s life in New York City, and a new collection of Addams’ cartoons, Addams’ Apple: The New York Cartoons of Charles Addams. 
Kevin Miserocchi will also present a specially commissioned, forged bronze bust of Charles Addams to the Town of Westfield in honor of its 300th anniversary and to commemorate Westfield’s place in Addams’ life and art.

The event will be streamed on Facebook Live at no cost, and participants can submit questions for consideration using the form at addamsfest.com/nystateofmind.

Tour the Swamp: In anticipation of the event, get a rarely seen glimpse of Charles and Tee Addams’ home in the Hamptons (“The Swamp”) -- including the pet cemetery where they were buried, and a residence featuring a curious collection of skeletons, embalmed bats, swords, flasks, photos with famous friends, and so much more. Available for viewing at addamsfest.com/nystateofmind.
