In 1988, the Pittsfield Players
celebrated their 20th Anniversary
with an elaborate evening at Lake Shore Farms in Northwood, NH. The evening
included entertainment from the Seabees
from "South Pacific," Karen Jordan, and Mal Cameron. Video clips
were shown and a parade of members discussed their memories of the Players
and the shows
they had been in. Finally, the first Hall of Fame awards were presented
to members.
The People's Choice Awards
were a way of recognizing some of the accomplishments of the Players up
to that time. The winners were decided by a public ballot, printed in
the Suncook Valley Sun, for people to cast their vote and mail to the
Players.
The results were as follows with winners receiving handsome mugs: (for
