Free Wifi Hotspot now available on the municipal campus!
Altice has finished installing free Wi-Fi hotspots on the Town Hall and Library buildings.  That means that you should be able to get free internet.  To access the service from your device, select the network entitled “optimumwifi-Emergency.” Optimum will then ask you to accept its access terms of use.  After that, you will be connected to the internet for 60 minutes.   Repeat the process as needed.  The Town has paid for this service to be installed using federal ARPA grant dollars. Going forward, there will be no charge to users or the Town.

A Mid-Summer Nights Dream
Weston High School's Company, will bring the woodland fairy magic of Shakespeare’s comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream to life on stage November 11th -13th!

Join the audience of the Athenian court as they prepare for Theseus (June Skodis, ‘23) and Hippolyta’s (Mattie Lawler, ‘23) wedding, but tread lightly! You might find yourself whisked into the magic of the mischievous fairy court, as you run away with unrequited lovers Hermia (Dylan Schwartz, ‘24), Lysander (Billy Stammer, ‘24), Helena (Kennedy Boehme, ‘23), and Demetrius (Brian Lombardi ‘23).

Witness the well-meaning, but impish fairy, Puck (Riley Dize, ‘24), wreak havoc on the lovers in the woods, while a troupe of merry actors (Grace Forte, ‘24; Paige Latham, ‘25;  Lily Moskoff, ‘26; Bill Austin, ‘25; Alyssa Pignataro ‘24; Avery MacRae ‘25) stumble through a hilarious rendition of a play-within-a-play to entertain all in a final happily-mostly-after!

Steal away from thine own company for a while to sort out the magical mischief woven by The Bard on Friday, November 11th at 7:00 p.m., Saturday, November 12th and Sunday, November 13th at 3:00 p.m.
