WESTON 101 Series to Return Next Month at Weston Playhouse

The Weston Playhouse Theatre Company's Weston 101 series returns in February for its second year in a brand-new format: six engaging and insightful videos about the up-coming season will now be free and easy to view directly on the Weston Playhouse website.

Hosted by Director of Education/Artistic Associate Piper Goodeve, Weston 101 will feature members of the summer productions, such as Michael Berresse, Tim Fort, and Steve Stettler, David Bonanno, and Susan Haefner, musical director Larry Pressgrove, choreographer Michael Raine, and more to be announced.

"Last year's inaugural series was great, with dozens of people joining us both live and online," said Goodeve. "This year the response was overwhelmingly in favor of online viewing, so we've listened to our audience, and made Weston 101 entirely virtual. By offering this inside look into our productions free of charge, we can reach even more theatre lovers, and hope to see more of them at The Playhouse this summer."

Each video will include an introduction to the play and playwright(s), and a Q&A with members of the creative team, talking about their visions for the production and their roles in bringing it to life, why the piece was chosen for Weston, and much more. For those who want to continue learning about a play or musical, a supplemental list for further reading/listening/watching will be included with each video. All materials will be available through the Weston 101 sponsor, Northshire Bookstore. Love what you learned? Come see a show this summer!
