WHITE CHRISTMAS And More Set for Weston Theater Company Season 89

Weston Theater Company has announced a lineup of productions rooted in the spirit of Vermont. Performances will take place from June – October at Weston's beloved Walker Farm Theater.

Says Executive Artistic Director, Susanna Gellert, "Weston's 2025 season celebrates the creative peaks we reach year after year and the artistic pathways that lead us to discovery and connection. This year, we'll gather to share stories that transport us to new heights, from John Denver's Rocky Mountains to the Green Mountains of Vermont. We'll revel in the nostalgia and warmth of White Christmas and explore the powerful intersections of identity and belonging in A Distinct Society. Each production reflects the journeys we take together—filled with joy and love, family and friendship, challenge and hope."

Season 89 begins with American musical icon John Denver's timeless melodies echoing from Rocky Mountain highs to the Green Mountains of Vermont. Conceived by Harold Thau, ALMOST HEAVEN celebrates the life and times of this down-to-earth music man with over 25 chart-topping hits including: “Rocky Mountain High,” “Sunshine on My Shoulders,” “Annie's Song,” “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, and many more.

Playing June 11 - July 6 Celebrate in Weston this summer as a group of entertainers from New York unite to save a struggling Vermont inn, finding love and friendship along the way. Irving Berlin's WHITE CHRISTMAS is a funny and heartwarming classic with a dazzling score, including “Blue Skies,” “I Love a Piano,” “How Deep is the Ocean,” and the perennial title song. This uplifting musical captures the spirit and generosity of the holiday season and is sure to delight audiences of all ages. It's the magic of Christmas, under the summer sky.

Playing July 16 - August 10 In late August, Weston presents the Regional Premiere of a new Vermont-based play, A DISTINCT SOCIETY, written and directed by Kareem Fahmy. The Haskell Free Library in Derby Line straddles the border of Vermont and Quebec. When an Iranian father and his daughter, separated by the international border, start using the library as a meeting place, the denizens of this quiet sanctuary find their lives suddenly full of excitement and consequence. Inspired by real events, A DISTINCT SOCIETY is a touching, charming, and heartwarming new play about love, migration, and finding home.

Playing August 20 - August 31 Put family fun on the calendar with Weston's Free Young Company performances of Caldecott-winning author Mo Willem's DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS: THE MUSICAL. Dive into high-energy hilarity as the witty and woefully misunderstood hero, Pigeon, tries every trick in the book to get behind the wheel of his favorite bus. Packed with catchy tunes and plenty of laughs, this fun-filled show, based on the popular children's book series, invites audiences of all ages to help stop Pigeon's wild antics in their tracks.

Playing June 17 - June 29 in Weston & On Tour Across Southern Vermont Weston will close its 89th Season in the fall with THE TWELFTH NIGHT SHOW by Weston alumni Megumi Nakamura and Jacob Brandt.
