Wellesley Theatre Project to present original work called Footprints

Wellesley Theatre Project (WTP) this weekend will present Footprints, a new work by its IMPACT! audition-only touring group.

The lowdown: “Ever feel like you’re not taken seriously because you’re a kid?  Or do you feel like you never want the responsibilities of being a grown up?  There are many challenges for kids and teens in today’s society whether it’s bullying, moving to a new school, first loves, or gender identification.  Footprints, an original piece, celebrates the wonderful things about being a young adult and also addresses the challenges told first hand by students in 4th-12th Grade.  The stories are told through songs, monologues, and short scenes.”

Footprints will be performed on April 30th at 7pm and May 1st at 2pm. Admission is $5. The WTP studio is located at 98R Central St. in Wellesley. Tickets can be purchased online at www.wellesleytheatreproject.org or at the studio.  IMPACT! is comprised of students ranging from 4th grade through 12th grade who demonstrate advanced performance skills and leadership.
