Producing Artistic Director Weylin Symes says:
"North Shore Music Theatre has been a staple of the cultural fabric of the Metro North region for over fifty years. Their closing is a huge loss to the Greater Boston theater community and to their loyal patrons. I am very proud to say that Stoneham Theatre continues to thrive both financially and artistically in this difficult economic climate and we are committed to continue to provide the highest quality theatre. We hope that North Shore patrons find a home at Stoneham Theatre."
