Wellesley High School Dramatic Arts Company to present “Fire in the Hole”

Wellesley High School Dramatic Arts Company presents its Massachusetts Educational Theatre Guild One-Act entry, “Fire in the Hole” by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Schenkkan (from “The Kentucky Cycle”). It focuses on the conflicts in a 1920’s coal-mining town.

2026 METG Preliminary Round is at Wellesley High School on Saturday, Feb. 28 and Wellesley High will take the stage at 1:30pm.  Ticket info.  Due to mature content, the show is not recommended for children under 13.

A free performance will be held Friday, March 13 at 7pm at Wellesley High, followed by Q&A (note: the event was rescheduled to this date from February 27 due to storm-related issues).

Come support the 50+ students who will perform, work backstage and host the other five competing high schools.
