Upon the death of Walter Boughton, the theatre’s second producer in 50 years, Producing Directors Malcolm Ewen, Tim Fort and Steve Stettler rededicated the Playhouse to its community, reorganizing it as a non-profit Equity company.  The Weston Playhouse Theatre Company is now an award-winning regional theatre nationally known for its multi-stage summer festival and its year-round Outreach and New Works Programs.

The company recently acquired the 5-acre Walker farmstead in Weston and is in the midst of a major capital campaign to preserve it as a year-round center for play development.  In honor of its 75^th season, the theatre company has worked with its landlords, the Weston Community Association, to create the Playhouse’s first orchestra pit, expanded dressing rooms and actor bathrooms, an updated lobby, greater handicapped accessibility, an air-conditioned restaurant, and a state-of-the-art fire safety system.

Less than 20 U.S. theatres have been around for 75 years.  We celebrate this hallmark with our focus squarely on the future, devoted to producing a deep and broad season of the very best in live theatre.  We can do so only because of the continuing dedication of our loyal artists, staff, board, patrons, donors and volunteers.  Happy Anniversary to all!
