On Stage: The Wonder and Joy of Willy Wonka Jr.

The Middle School treated us to an incredible journey to the fantastical world of Willy Wonka Jr. Our talented cast and crew worked tirelessly to bring this beloved story to life on stage. 

Belmont Hill and the Winsor Middle Schools brought the house down with their recent musical production of Willy Wonka Jr., featuring a huge cast of actors and technicians from both Schools, including Will Achtmeyer ‘26 as Willy Wonka. 

The Belmont Hill Theatre program proudly donated its ticket sales this year to ThinkPink, a breast cancer awareness organization launched by senior Dan Moran ‘23. ThinkPink has held several fundraisers, with proceeds going directly to Dana Farber for breast cancer research.

The Belmont Hill-Winsor Middle School Spring Musical was performed on May 12 and 13 in the Kraft Theater at Belmont Hill. Huge thanks go out to coordinators from both schools, as well as an incredible faculty team bringing the dazzling and terrifyingly tasty world of Wonka’s factory to life!

Mr. Fiori Releases Debut Jazz Fusion Record

When Belmont Hill faculty members take advantage of the teaching sabbaticals offered after ten years of service, some use the time away from the classroom to travel, work towards advanced degrees, or even enjoy a well earned opportunity to relax. Director of Instrumental Music Dan Fiori took a different approach in 2023 and spent the year immersed in the composing and recording of his debut jazz fusion album Undertow. The record, which was released in May and is available digitally and on vinyl, demonstrates the vast breadth of Mr. Fiori’s musical influences and the level of talent guiding Belmont Hill musicians on their own creative journeys.
