Weston Drama Workshop Opens Registration for Summer 2020

Weston Drama Workshop, a nonprofit youth summer theater organization based out of Regis College Fine Arts Center, recently opened registration for their Summer 2020 programs. WDW, a mainstay of the Weston community since 1962, closed its 57th season at the end of July after two weeks of performances of Matilda, Spring Awakening, Legally Blonde, The Wolves, and a pilot production of Disney’s Finding Nemo Jr.

Season 58 will be comprised of five productions starring local students, from those entering Grade 6 up to age 23. Show titles will be announced as the school year progresses, and auditions for registrants will occur in May. WDW’s younger participants—Grade 6 through Grade 9—are eligible for the Morning Program, culminating in a mainstage musical, as well as the Afternoon Program, which will stage a one-act Theater for Young Audiences production. The Afternoon Program is currently full and a waitlist is being maintained.

Older performers, Grade 9 through age 23, are eligible for the Evening Program and may be placed in one of three productions: two mainstage musicals and one black box play. Guaranteed placement spots are full, but interested parties can still register for the Audition Only list. Rising 10th graders are also invited to register for the Teen Conservatory, a targeted workshop-style program in which participants will study topics ranging from acting theory to dance.

WDW has also announced the debut of a brand-new initiative, WDW Kids, a creative arts program for rising 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. Budding performers will receive full days anchored in the arts, with topics such as acting, costume design, and improvisational theater. The program will be rooted in a show: Disney’s Lion King Experience.

All programs will run from early-to-mid June through late July, 2020. For further information on programs and registration, as well as a season calendar, visit www.westondramaworkshop.org.
