What a blast Celebrate Weston/Spring Fling was, right? A huge round of feathered clapping (flapping) for everyone involved in making the day an amazing success and so much fun we almost forgot our shoes were melting into the pavement. It will take me at least a year to recuperate so please no celebrating anything until Memorial Pool renovations get approved.
Read moreYou can’t say that Weston doesn’t try. After months of dealing with the crazy at the Intersection of Doom, Weston’s Traffic & Sidewalk Committee recently approved* the placement of an arresting (not in the Weston Police way which seems to have largely failed) sculpture by long-time Weston resident and artist Joe Ferguson. Those of you without heads under rocks might
Read moreIf you have never seen the K-12 Art Show hosted at the Weston High School, you may be under the mistaken impression that it is only for the parents of the artistes (French for you all on your Tuesday). Don’t miss out – it is one wonderful display of joyful art, thought-provoking artistry, and this year, the return of the
Read moreFor two nights only, Friday May 13 and Saturday May 14, we shall have humor in this town…not to mention a wonderful story-teller. Join the Newton Nomadic Theater at the Weston Art & Innovation Center for Joanne Callum Powers’ uproarious one woman show, Miss Delta Township. From the marketing materials: Can your story be a coming-of-age tale when you’ve already
Read moreDid you know that the Weston Public Library hosts monthly “galleries‘ in the Community Room hallway every month? Yes, of course you know that because you subscribe to the WPL newsletter and visit them all.the.time.

Read moreUpdate 5/14: Due to Covid among cast and crew, performances this weekend (May 14 and 15) have been canceled. Two new shows have been added Thursday Night 5/19 at 7:30 pm Sunday Night 5/22 at 7:00 pm Let the wild rumpus start, Weston, as if it hadn’t already given the number of submissions to the Weston Owl. I cannot keep
Read moreThis is it, Weston! On May 5, 6, and 7, it’s time for the final musical production of Weston High School for school year 2021-2022. And along with it, comes the realization that the seniors in this show are swan-songing (singing?) in their last high school musical stage appearances. I am completely traumatized as one of the neighbor owlets is
Read moreWeston is fortunate to host an amazing nonprofit youth summer theater organization, Weston Drama Workshop, which was founded in 1962 and incorporated in 1963. So yes, according to my acute mathy skills, that makes this their 60th Anniversary Season (fine, they also told me that). Just in case you are crazy about accuracy, WDW is allowed to celebrate twice because
Read moreWho knew baseballs can sing? I guess that’s not too far from the whistling sound softballs used to make when zooming by my ear during Visa corporate softball in the 1990s. Of course, more often than not for this third-base-challenged Owl, there was a thump, not a whistle as said softball hit a shin. My nickname on the team? Black-and-blue.
Read moreIf you have never heard our amazing school choruses, it’s time! It’s Music in our Schools month (who knew this existed? Not me!
