Havertown Actor Star of Summer Stage's First Production

Upper Darby Summer Stage opens its 38th season with "The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley, Jr."

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.”
