Westcoast Connection began with the goal of using exciting, memorable travel to enlighten and inspire teenagers and to enhance their understanding of themselves along the way. With a simple philosophy of "EACH & EVERY" we could never have guessed how many thousands of teens would come to share in our spirited and tightly knit groups where everybody is included in an enriching program.

staff of The Paul Center believe that through consistent quality
programming we can and do provide an optimal educational and
recreational experience needed by our students.We stress with our
staff the importance of establishing and maintaining a "spirit of

our success with our students.

We are a Community Theater Troupe based in Boston's MetroWest. The
Present Players is dedicated to providing quality theater to our
community, and we always donate 100% of our proceeds to local
causes. We are able to produce 1-2 shows a year, and we donate 100%
of our shows' proceeds to community programs. If you are located in
Boston's Metro West and have a need for fundraising, consider
community theater. If you have an interest in any aspect of
Community Theater, we'd love to have you join us. A good production
needs Costumes, Lighting, Sets, and Props not to mention Publicity
and help with Tickets. We understand that everyone involved in the
company makes the show successful, not just the actors. Come see
how rewarding it is be involved with live theater.
The Nashoba Players is a dynamic, non-profit community theatre that
has been dedicated to providing cultural enrichment through live
theatre in drama, musicals and comedy to Westford and surrounding
communities. We began 30 years ago as Groton Theatre and Littleton
Theatre Guild and evolved into Nashoba Players. We are a member of
the Eastern Mass. Assoc. of Community Theatres and are recipients
of repeated recognitions at the EMACT Festivals for outstanding
achievements in our productions. Our commitment to providing
entertainment to the community has reached beyond traditional
theatre. We have offered Summer Theatre Workshops to the youth in
the community culminating in a musical show performed by the teens.
Our home stage is at the Parish Center for the Arts on the common
in Westford. It is an intimate and inviting venue where we offer
cabaret seating for our shows. Our season offers three or more
performances which include drama, comedy, musicals, and sometimes a
whimsical tongue-in-cheek melodrama or an elegant dinner theatre
experience.
