Wee-WaWs (mini-shows)
Spring 2025 Wee-WaW
The 5th Wee-WaW on May 22nd, 2025 was memorable. An unseasonable noreaster blew outside dumping buckets of rain but New Englanders proved their mettle with almost perfect attendance creating a full house! The special theme of the night was 'Waltham High School': Tellers Keaton and Oyon represented the Class of 2025, Michael from 2024 and Raine from 1975! Waltham Show Band was also well represented as Keaton and Oyon were members and the director, Ron Vanaria was in the audience. The open mic exceeding all expectations with some excellent stories.
