Weathervane Theatre — Attraction in Whitefield

This is a wonderful community like theater with professional actors. The repertoire is varied so theater-goers have many choices from straight plays to musicals. The two productions we attended were well done, and audience pleasers. A word of warning to those with asthma or other lung issues. They do tend to use herbal cigarettes as props, and we attended a production where at least six characters were smoking simultaneously.

My sister and I had a flex pass for the season early after Covid - the shows were professional and amazing. We couldn’t believe how lucky we were to have this level of talent within a quick drive from home. Two seasons ago I found myself falling asleep during the shows. Last summer we took off altogether. We both love Grease so we decided we should go back. What a pure disappointment it was. $67.50 for our tickets and it felt like a high school musical. The sets were minimal, the lighting was nothing special and the choreography was meh. I’m not sure what is happening at the Weathervane but I sure miss the excitement and professionalism of seasons past. ...
