I'm delighted to work with this unbelievably talented and diverse company of actors to bring this sweet and exciting production to life, says Executive Artistic Director and Director of THE FANTASTICKS, Susanna Gellert. The energy and heart that they are bringing to this story of love and family is truly inspiring.

A charming and funny fable, THE FANTASTICKS tells the story of a boy, a girl, their two fathers, and the wall that keeps them apart. Reality collides with romance as the young couple falls in love, grows apart, and finds their way back to each other after the September rains.

THE FANTASTICKS plays at The Weston Playhouse (12 Park Street, Weston, VT).
