Nashua Students Earn Noteworthy College Distinctions

NASHUA, NH — A Dean College student from Nashua will have a principal role in the school's performance of "Wonderful Town" beginning on Nov. 20. Jacob Duby, of Nashua, will perform in the dance ensemble of the production that runs from Nov. 20 to Nov. 24.

Based on the hit play and film "My Sister Eileen" the musical Wonderful Town tells the heart-warming story of two Midwestern sisters, newly arrived in New York. One, an aspiring writer, and the other, an actress and dancer, they leave their home in Ohio and wind up sharing a basement apartment in Greenwich Village. While pursuing their dreams, they deal with broken hearts and surround themselves with a cast of characters only to be found in the Village.

The Dean College production of "Wonderful Town" will take place in the Main Stage in the Campus Center at Dean College, 109 West Central Street, Franklin at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. General admission is $22, Seniors $12 and Children $7.
