ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY to Kick Off Weston Theatre's Season, 6/20-7/7

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day launches the Weston Playhouse Theatre Company's exciting summer season with an endearing musical for the whole family. In this delightful adaptation of her popular children's book, Judith Viorst sets Alexander's very bad day to music and brings to life one of America's feistiest characters. Not only does Alexander wake up with gum in his hair, his mother forgets to pack him dessert, and his best friend decides he's not his best friend anymore. It's enough to make one want to move to Australia! And it's sure to bring a chuckle to young and old alike.

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is Weston Playhouse Theatre Company's Young Company production, featuring a group of talented young actors from some of the country's top conservatories and undergraduate training programs. The show will be directed by Tim Fort who is celebrating 25 years as one of Weston's producing directors this summer. It will be held at Weston's OtherStage -- the Weston Rod and Gun Club, 982 Main Street (Route 100), Weston.

Weston's 2013 season continues with the MainStage opening of the British comedy Educating Rita on June 25. The MainStage continues with the Vermont premiere of the Pulitzer and Tony winning rock musical Next To Normal (July 11 - July 27,) the Broadway blockbuster 42nd Street(August 1 - August 24,) and the beloved American classic To Kill a Mockingbird (August 29 - September 11.)
