WESTON – Weston Drama Workshop, a nonprofit youth theater organization in its 60th anniversary season, will stage six productions this month at Regis College, featuring participants entering grade 5 through age 23.

All six casts have been hard at work rehearsing for these productions since early June, and will perform at the Regis Fine Arts Center between July 17 and July 30.

With more than 30 performances in the span of a jam-packed three weeks, Weston Drama Workshop continues its long-standing tradition of providing the MetroWest community and beyond with quality youth theater. 

WDW’s younger ensemble—participants in the morning program and the afternoon program—will perform two productions: Tuck Everlasting, a musical based on the novel by Natalie Babbitt and directed by Aidan O’Hara, and Gooney Bird Greene and Her True Life Adventures, a Theater for Young Audiences play based on the book by Lois Lowry and directed by Callie Llewellyn.

The program’s older ensemble, ages 14-23, will perform two main stage musicals and two black box plays. Audiences will travel back to the age of Shakespeare in Something Rotten!, directed by Chris Brindley; dive into the world of the Frankenstein family in Young Frankenstein, adapted from the famous Mel Brooks movie and directed by Skylar Grossman; witness a 1920s Broadway controversy intertwined with Jewish culture in Indecent, written by Paula Vogel and directed by Stephanie Manning; and explore the boundaries of illusion and reality in Luigi Pirandello’s masterpiece, Six Characters in Search of an Author, directed by Tristan Burke.

Among the performers starring in these four productions are Ashland residents Lucy DeMeo (Ensemble in Something Rotten!), Jordan Norris (Ensemble in Young Frankenstein), and Caroline DeMeo.

Tickets are available at westondramaworkshop.org/tickets, and questions can be

air-conditioned Fine Arts Center.
