“This is Framingham Youth Theater’s first summer and we have had a blast! The kids have impressed us everyday," said Teri Shea, Youth Theater Camp Director. "They work hard no matter what we ask of them.  They painted the sets, designed masks, learned their lines and dances all with the same enthusiasm and excitement.  It has been a pleasure to get to know them and work with them on my favorite show, “Once on This Island, Jr.” 

Tickets are available at the theater on Friday, July 27 at 6:30.  Tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for anyone under 18.
