The Fantasticks Matinee
Tuesday, July 25 | 2:00 - 3:00pm

The Provincetown Theater is thrilled to present Tom Jones' and Harvey Schmidt's classic hit The Fantasticks in collaboration with Family Week. This One Act relaxed performance is meant for children and families of all ages to enjoy the theater and a happy ending musical. Newly rewritten by the prolific original writer Tom Jones, this version of The Fantasticks reimagines the classic musical with the young lovers at the center of the story as two young men, and their conniving fathers reimagined as scheming mothers!

Making Family Week fun for everyone

Family Week is a time when we celebrate, value, and respect the diversity of our community and our families. In the spirit of equity and accessibility for all participants, we ask attendees, participants, vendors, and sponsors to commit to these guiding values. Thank you for your continued awareness, understanding, and support! 

One way we can ensure that we’re serving and supporting everyone who attends Family Week is by having an accurate picture of who is joining us! If you have friends or family members who are planning to attend Family Week but haven’t registered yet, please encourage them to do so. Registration allows them to receive up-to-date information about schedule changes, emergencies, and more straight to their inbox, in addition to providing us with the information we need to plan our events, communicate with funders, and develop programming that is accessible for everyone! 

Sponsor shoutouts

This week, we’re thrilled to share this message from our Platinum Sponsor, Warner Bros. Discovery:

"Warner Bros. Discovery is proud to continue our support of Family Week and our partnership with Family Equality. We stand with them as proud allies as they provide this unique opportunity for LGBTQ+ families from across the country to gather in celebration, advocacy, and love. Save the date for the Outdoor Movie Screening on Monday, July 24th from 8 - 10 pm, sponsored by Warner Bros. Discovery!”

In addition, we’d like to thank our Silver Sponsor, Eastern Bank, for sponsoring our Queer Leaders & Parenting Panel and for making this entire week possible with their generous support! 

Thank you, too, to Gold Sponsor, Nissan for sponsoring our second annual Family Night: A Deep Sea Disco!
