Winner of two Gala tickets announced!

If you were walking down Railroad Street last weekend, you may have noticed our interns on the sidewalk hawking tickets. They were also holding a drawing for two orchestra seats to our gala.  Ta da... the winner is: Jack Budnick.  Congratulations Jack!  

Meanwhile... back in the office, we are preparing to welcome the many playwrights, directors, and actors who will arrive in the next few days to rehearse for the Gala show Saturday June 9th, 7:30pm at the Mahaiwe.  It's exciting to be back in production after working in the quiet of our office on Railroad Steet during the off season.

Lori Bashour, our General Manager says,
"This is when the fun starts.  I like the organizing and preparing, but what I really LOVE about my job is watching the process unfold from the concept of 'Let's put on a show,' to Saturday night when the lobby of the Mahaiwe fills with patrons... many of whom I have lived with in this community for years. It's really moving to be present in the audience and hear everyone laughing and crying-- reacting to the pieces. It's rewarding work." 

This is the first year we are presenting more than new "plays."  We will also have new "songs" and a new "short screenplay."   If you have come to our annual gala in the past, this is not one of the years you will want to miss. The Mahaiwe is selling the show only tickets through their box office and online, but the premium reception tickets can only be purchased through the BPL office.  Call 413-528-2544.  You can also purchase show only tickets through our BPL office which is open 9-5.  The Mahaiwe box office opens at Noon, Wed - Saturday.
