Sharon Student Performs in Weston Summer Production

From Weston Drama Workshop:

Summer theater rehearsals are in full swing for Weston Drama Workshop’s 54th season, with opening night occurring on Thursday, July 14th. With five shows and 22 performances, Weston Drama Workshop offers something for everyone, following its decades-long tradition of providing the MetroWest community with quality youth theater.

WDW’s younger ensemble, artists aged 10-14, will perform the fantastic and magical Broadway revival version of Cinderella. Sharon’s own Luke Basile, age 14, will perform as Sebastian in this production.

A smaller group, also aged 10-14, will hold two public performances of Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse. This show is a Theatre for Young Audiences production that will otherwise travel in the community, performing at local senior homes and camps.

Older actors, ages 14-23, will perform two main stage musicals and one black box play. Explore the life of Eva Peron in Evita, see the spectacle of Pippin, and enjoy one of Shakespeare’s most famous works in The Tempest.

Tickets are available online, at the door, or you may reserve them by calling the box office at 781-768-7070. Performances are held at Regis College’s Fine Arts Center in Weston.
