Wellesley Players to present The Pied Piper, Saturday and Sunday, May 14 and 15

The Wellesley Players are delighted to announce that our Spring 2016 production will be a Family Theater production of the classic children’s story The Pied Piper in the Wellesley High School auditorium on Saturday, May 14 at 11:00am and 3:00pm and Sunday, May 15 at 2:00pm. General admission tickets are available for $10 online and at the door.

The Pied Piper is an original musical performed by local children and adults. Long-time Wellesley Players members and town residents, Wil Breden and Barbara Tarlin are teaming up as music director and stage director to bring this original version of The Pied Piper to the stage. Wil Breden, a well-known local composer who has also written scores for Pinocchio, Aladdin and Adora, The Princess and the Pirate, Jack and the Beanstalk and Heroes of the Garden wrote the music. The book, by Barbara Tarlin and D.J. Lister, is based on the well-known children’s story of the Piper who came to the town of Hamlin and saved them from an infestation of mice. The townsfolk and their children learn some important life lessons during the course of this funny and heart-warming ninety-minute musical.

All children attending the performances will have a chance to meet The Piper, Pip and the other characters following the show when the cast comes out for hellos, hugs, photos and autographs. Tickets and additional information can be found on our box office page.
