Wheaton Drama, Inc. (WDI), held its annual Colby Awards celebration August 4 at Playhouse 111. The Colby Awards are named in honor of Colby Jones, a longtime WDI member who passed away in 1996. The Awards recognize volunteers for their outstanding contributions backstage and behind the scenes.

This year’s Colby Awards evening began with an hour for socializing, cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres.  Following that, the Colby Committee interspersed the Awards presentation with song parodies.  After the presentations, attendees had time for more socializing, plus dessert and dancing. (more…)

As of July 2, 2012, Wheaton and surrounding areas are recovering from the severe weather of July 1. We hope everybody in our community is safe and receiving the assistance needed to clean up after the storms. While the Playhouse does not have power at the time of this note, tickets can still be purchased via our website and our upcoming production is set to open as planned.

NEWS:  Power was restored to the Playhouse on July 3. 

Hansel and Gretel will open July 6 as planned!

For your amusement, below are a few articles regarding Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. More to come! (more…)

Director Randy Knott’s photo of the Black Comedy set after the first day of construction (February 25). The set construction crew that day was: Ben Aylesworth, Steve Blount, Pat Daly, Don Dumper, Alex Finnis, Randy Knott, Geoffrey Maher, John Murray, Jen Neidl, R.J. Ogren, Sean Ogren, and Bruce Worthel. Rebecca Poole provided what was quite possibly the most important supply of the day – lunch!

Set construction and decoration continues during weekends prior to the show’s March 23 opening.
