Goodbye from Jessica Stansfield!

     

 

 

   It's with great sadness that I say goodbye to WCT, a place that has welcomed me and made me a part of the WCT family over the last two and a half years. As I start this new chapter of my life traveling around the world, I will always carry WCT with me wherever I go.

     First, a thank you to all the staff for all your support, laughter, and guidance over the years.

     Second, a thank you to all the families who have spent countless hours helping make productions possible and going the extra mile to make my job easier.

     Finally, the biggest thank you to all the WCT kids. You are all the reason I love my job, whether you have me rolling on the floor with laughter or pulling my hair out in frustration. Remember to always keep your passion, laughter, and support for each other. You all have one special thing here, never forget that, and carry WCT with you wherever you go.

Jess

 
 
 
Hello from Megan Otteson!

     

 

 

 

 

I am super excited to be the new PSM of WCT! I am a native of Watertown and performed with WCT when I was a child, then later became an intern throughout high school. Joining the team as the new PSM is a homecoming for me and I couldn't be happier to rejoin the WCT family! I have many happy memories from my 12 years as a performer and an intern and can't wait to create many more as PSM!  

Megan

Spotlight on MOVING CENTER STAGE

     

In this production, the Junior Players will rehearse a one-of-a-kind music review with a Director/Choreographer and Music Director. We are so excited for the Juniors to have the opportunity to build their performance skills and share their with an audience in their very own musical!

  • 3:30 and 4:45 classes will rehearse separately until their final rehearsals in early November.  At that point the classes will combine and work together onstage.  
  • The performance will take place in the Mosesian Theatre. 
  • The team is currently working to put together a review of challenging, exciting musical numbers. 
  • We are looking forward to crafting a show that can be the Junior Players' very own, and we hope that your child will join us for this new, creative approach to this beloved program!
