FRAMINGHAM – Framingham has a long, and award-winning history of producing high school and middle school theatre. And with the opening of the new Fuller Middle School in September, the tradition will continue.

On Friday, October 1, the first-ever production will be held at the Chris Walsh Performing Arts Center at Fuller Middle School.

The Framingham School Committee recently unanimously voted to dedicate the theatre area of the new school under construction in honor of the late state representative. Walsh, an architect by trade,

Walsh served as a state representative for Framingham from 2011, until his death at age 66 in May of 2018.

In addition to the dedication ceremony, the Framingham Public School District is planning a musical revue to christen the stage, said Framingham K-12 Fine and Performing Arts Director Donna Wresinski.

Superintendent of Schools Bob Tremblay has already signed on to perform.
