BRATTLEBORO — The New England Youth Theatre announced its Melodrama Festival One “filled with action-packed fun that will have you cheering and jeering heroes, villains, and fools,” according to a news release. Both the Junior and Senior melodrama performances are included in one show this season.
Jay Gelter and Henry Weisel direct the Junior cast as they bring the British Hillside Players to the stage in the rollicking melodrama, “A Story Familiar,” written by Natalie Rich and Dylan Frederick. “Actors will fall or fly as the pressure of opening night is upon them in this hysterical and physical melodrama,” according to the news release.
Maia Gilmour and Casey Greenleaf have written and directed “Face Time: A Pop-o-drama,” in which the Senior cast “invites you to take a look at a future where we have forgotten what it means to spend time together face to face.”
