A matchmaker who can also do magic. A chess team that’s more popular than the football team. A high school where everyone can love whoever they want, however they want, whenever they want. Heartsville High, the setting for the Newton Country Players’ Zanna, Don’t!, may not be a typical high school. But it is within this setting that conceptions about homosexuality are challenged, love is encouraged, and high schoolers are accepted.
It’s a rare treat to see this show, which is set to a fun, pop score: when the Newton Country Players’ production opens on August 3, it will be only the fourth time this musical has been performed in Massachusetts.
Performances will take place August 3-4 and August 10-11 at 8 p.m. at MassBay Community College, located at 50 Oakland Street in Wellesley Hills.
