"Falsettos" runs from June 14 to June 23.
The Flyleaf Theater Company's second season starts Friday with a show that "very much fits our mission," Director Ken Orben says.

The Friday and Saturday shows are at 8 p.m., while the Sunday shows are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 for students and seniors, and $10 for Berlin residents.

The Flyleaf Theater Company is rehearsing its second production.
Performing "Next to Normal" is the latest way a Westborough High School grad's new theater company will be different locally. The Flyleaf Theater Company's productions' casts will be capped around 10 performers, smaller than other MetroWest-area theater groups, Jonathan Eldridge says. "We're trying to push the status quo of community theater by keeping things very small, cast sizes especially," the 1999 WHS grad said during a recent interview.

"When …
