Weston Theater Company Reveals 90th Anniversary Season
Ring of Fire, Primary Trust, and more set for Weston's 90th season.
Weston Theater Company has unveiled its 90th Anniversary Season, a milestone summer featuring Iconic Music, Pulitzer-Winning Drama, Broadway Stars, and New Works.
SEASON 90 PRODUCTIONS
Season 90 opens in June with the revival of a Weston favorite, RING OF FIRE. Forged from the passions and poetry of his rebellious spirit, this electrifying musical journeys through the life, love, and legacy of Johnny Cash. Bringing together more than 30 of Cash's most iconic songs, including “Folsom Prison Blues,” “I Walk the Line,” and “Jackson,” this musical captures the raw talent, brilliant mind, and enduring power of a legendary American voice. Playing June 10 – July 5 In July, Weston marks the 30th anniversary of Jonathan Larson's groundbreaking rock musical RENT. Urgent, ardent, and alive with possibility, this powerful portrait of a group of friends navigating love, loss, and chosen family in New York City features beloved anthems including “Seasons of Love,” “La Vie Bohème,” and “Take Me or Leave Me.” Exhilarating and deeply human, this Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical continues to inspire new generations with its message of living fully and loving fiercely in uncertain times. Playing July 22 - August 16
In August, Weston presents the 2024 Pulitzer Prize-winning play PRIMARY TRUST by Eboni Booth. At once intimate and expansive, affecting and funny, this luminous story of friendship and quiet transformation reminds us of the courage it takes to step into the unknown, and the grace found in human connection. Playing August 26 - September 6 Multi-generational fun takes center stage with Weston's Free Young Company touring production of SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! Smart and silly, this high-energy musical brings the beloved songs of TV's Emmy Award-winning Schoolhouse Rock to life! From “Conjunction Junction” to “I'm Just a Bill,” these unforgettable tunes turn civics, grammar, math, history, and science into joyful storytelling. The show bursts with humor and invites audiences to laugh and rediscover just how great learning can be. Playing June 19 – June 28 in Weston & On Tour Across Southern Vermont
A NEW TRADITION BEGINS: SEASON 90 “SPOTLIGHT”
Season 90 also debuts SPOTLIGHT SESSIONS, a curated series of intimate, one-night-only performances featuring some of Broadway's most celebrated artists.

A SEASON OF CELEBRATION
Finally, Season 90 is dedicated to Wayne Granquist in celebration of his 90th birthday and his extraordinary commitment to the theater and the entire Southern Vermont community. A long-time leader and advocate, Granquist's service has helped shape Weston's growth and resilience across decades.
