A Frightfully Good Cause – Fester’s Shave for CHSW!

They're creepy and they're kooky… and one of them is about to go bald for charity!

On Sunday, May 11th, during a rehearsal like no other, The Wranglers Theatre Company invites you to witness a truly hair-raising event. Our very own Uncle Fester—played by the wonderfully brave Ethan Oakeshott—will be shaving off his hair and beard LIVE as he prepares to fully embody the famously follicle-free Fester in our upcoming production of The Addams Family Musical.

But this isn’t just a theatrical transformation—it’s a heartfelt act of generosity. Ethan is braving the clippers to raise vital funds for Children’s Hospice South West, a charity that has offered incredible support to members of our Wranglers family and their loved ones during the most difficult times.

With razors in hand and spooky spirit in our souls, we’re turning this macabre makeover into a moment of real meaning.

So whether you love musical theatre, believe in the power of community, or just want to see someone get dramatically de-haired—we’d be thrilled (and chilled) to have your support.

Join us for the live shave on May 11th, and then see the final result when Ethan takes the stage as Uncle Fester from May 21st–24th, 2025 with The Wranglers Theatre Company.

Donate today and help us support CHSW—because even in the Addams Family, there’s room for a little heart… and a lot less hair.
