Havertown Actor Star of Summer Stage's First Production

A Havertown boy is starring in “The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley, Jr.” as Upper Darby Summer Stage opens its 38th season.

Nick Taddeo will play Stanley Lambchop, an ordinary, everyday ten-year-old who wants to travel the world. Stanley wakes up flat and in a whirlwind musical travelogue, according to Summer Stage.

“It’s just a fun, lighthearted show where kids not only will be entertained, they’ll get something out of it,” said director Brian Walsh. “Where most people are so connected these days with electronics and stuff, I just feel it’s a good way to hone in the whole family.”

There are four, 70-minute performances of the musical comedy. They will take place on July 10, 11, 12 at 10:30 am and on July 11 at 7:30 pm. 

Tickets are $6 - $9 and may be purchased online at www.udpac.org or by calling the box office: 610.622.1189. 

“Flat Stanley” is ideal for ages 4 and up, according to Summer Stage. Free babysitting is offered for those too young to enjoy the show quietly. 

The Upper Darby Performing Arts Center is located in Drexel Hill, at 601 N. Lansdowne Avenue, minutes from the Main Line and Center City. Parking is free.
