Newton Country Players Presents Zanna, Don't!

50 Oakland St, Wellesley, MA | Get Directions »
$20.00

A matchmaker who can also do magic. A chess team that’s more popular than the football team. A high school where everyone can love whoever they want, however they want, whenever they want. Heartsville High, the setting for the Newton Country Players’ Zanna, Don’t!, may not be a typical high school. But it is within this setting that conceptions about homosexuality are challenged, love is encouraged, and high schoolers are accepted.

It’s a rare treat to see this show, which is set to a fun, pop score: when the Newton Country Players’ production opens on August 3, it will be only the fourth time this musical has been performed in Massachusetts.

Performances will take place August 3-4 and August 10-11 at 8 p.m. at MassBay Community College, located at 50 Oakland Street in Wellesley Hills.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for students and seniors, and free for MassBay students, faculty, and staff. Tickets are available online at www.newtoncountryplayers.org or at the door. Call 617.244.9538 or email ncplayersinfo@gmail.com for our group rates, which are available to groups of 10 or more.

I saw this show over the weekend with my daughter. Everyone in the cast was extremely talented - stellar voices and physicality - with exceptional standouts and kudos to the young actors playing Zanna, Mike, and Roberta. Even though it was community theater, I think they utilized professional quality actors. The ensemble members were funny and were adept at putting on different character hats as well. I had never seen this show before and I'm so glad that my daughter brought me along. I think that every high school should add it to their list of shows. Great message! Brought a tear to my eye and smile to my face. BRAVO to the company!
