Lebanon High School’s Wet Paint Players put their teenage talent to work at their latest production: Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along. Having just enjoyed an acclaimed Broadway revival starring Daniel Radcliffe, this sometimes tear-jerking, sometimes sidesplitting musical tells the story of three friends — in reverse chronological order. Starting with their friendship’s bitter dissolution after years of professional and personal resentments and ending with their first encounter as bright-eyed, hopeful young artists, this story is literally one for the ages. Admission is cash only at the door. 603-448-0400
