Come and hear the wish list of the perfect man for Hanna, Ricki, and Tina, as they try to find their soul mates. Come see what happens to two women that are the best of friends, always there for each other, but can’t ever seem to find the right guy.  And Sam wants to move in with the women he believes to be the one, but what’s really in those bags the movers are hauling into the apartment?  Does Sam really have that much baggage?  Don’t know? Ask Elaine, Marilou, and Rene. Come hear about those mothers who are constantly choosing the right person for their children, and how that all turns out. You’ll be entertained and amused at all the ways you can learn how to meet that Mr. or Mrs. Right, and you’ll probably learn all the wrong ways, too.

The cast of Personals includes four of your favorite performers at Steel Hill Resort, Gerri Casey, Lena Luongo, Ernie Bass, and Jeff Gregoire. Chris Mega will be at the piano.

PITTSFIELD PLAYERS TO LAUNCH  MAJOR FUNDRAISING EFFORT FOR FIRE ALARM AND SPRINKLER SYSTEM AT THE SCENIC THEATRE

After several years of working with the Pittsfield Fire Department in an effort to bring the Scenic Theatre up to acceptable fire code levels, it has become clear to the Board of Directors that the Players need to begin a major fundraising drive to raise the money necessary to install an alarm and sprinkler system, or face closure in the future. The Board has formulated a pay-as-you go plan to install the necessary equipment in stages, raising the money for each stage of the installation as we go along. It is hoped the entire project will only take four years, but that will depend on the cost of the project and the success of our fundraising efforts.

The Board is currently soliciting bids from several alarm vendors, and will award a contract to one of them by the middle of this month. Preliminary bids set the cost of the alarm system between $9,000 and $10,000. That will be Phase One of the Scenic Sprinkler project. Phase Two, at a cost of approximately $10,300.00, will be rough piping of the first floor with sprinklers, with Phases Three to Five following afterward with installation of pumping equipment, second and third floor sprinklers, and site work to bring a new 6” water pipe into the back of the theater. The total cost of the project is estimated at close to $55,000.00.

The Board has appointed past President Maye Hart to spearhead this fundraising project. Over the next months, Maye will be gathering additional estimates and determining whether The Players qualify for any state or federal grants that may help to pay for the system. In addition, she will be heading up the fundraising efforts in the community. A special account will be set up to isolate funds donated for the sprinkler system to keep those donations separate from donations to our general fund.
