Welcome to NWR7 Theatre
Theatre at Northwestern Regional 7 is a community where students discover their voices, take creative risks, and bring powerful stories to life. Recognized for excellence, our cast and crew have earned several Halos, Connecticut's high school theater awards. Each year, high school and middle school students work together to put on a fall play and spring musical that inspire both performers and audiences alike.
Upcoming Show: The Addams Family
NWR7 Theatre presents our spring Musical, The Addams Family, a delightfully dark musical comedy that brings everyone’s favorite spooky family to life. When Wednesday Addams falls in love with a “normal” boy, secrets spill, chaos ensues, and the Addams clan learns that love, family, and acceptance come in all forms.
