For 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. While tempting to go down the rabbit hole of how wonderful our Weston Public Library is, the Owl shall resist and just mention this month’s
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! Someone alert Hallmark) so the Weston High, Middle, and Field School choruses are getting together to sing about it on Wednesday, March 30th starting at 7 pm. This event features singers from grades 4 all the way
Read moreThere is a Chinese Culture Celebration today at the High School and that sentence right there is all I know about it. I really am willing to post most Weston events at least in the archaic calendar function on the right side of this page but last-minute is rarely successful. In any case, I love the poster (shout out to
Read moreThis Sunday, March 27 from 3 pm-6 pm at the Weston Arts & Innovation Center, it’s time for the internationally* known Jazz Jam with Chris Welles. In the case that you don’t know him, you are missing out. I was lucky enough to catch a little of his musical joy a few months ago at a “Going Away” party for
Read moreThis morning, the Owl received an email from a reader about a fundraiser for Ukrainian children. As many of us search for a way to help out, why not add some owl art to your wall and help some Ukrainian kids along the way. You can try to outbid me on my favorite, but I wish you no luck on
