Behind The Scenes At The Scenic Theatre:
Pittsfield Mamma_030.jpg

I Remember Mama The Pittsfield Players are hard at work rehearsing for their fall musical production of Richard Rodgers’ “I Remember Mama”. The show will run at the Scenic Theater, 6 Depot Street in Pittsfield, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, November 2, 3 and 4, and again the following weekend on Friday and Saturday, November 9 and 10. Friday and Saturday shows are at 7:30 pm and the matinee on Sunday is at 2 pm. Tickets, which are on sale now, are $15 per person, $12 for seniors over 65 and kids under 12. You can reserve your tickets by calling 435-8852.


This wonderful family show tells the story of the Hansen family, immigrants from Norway, and their struggle to thrive and remain in America in 1910. The Hansens have five children, and their oldest daughter, Katrin, has dreams of becoming a writer. It is her story that tells the tale of how their mother, Marta, manages to keep food on the table and a roof over their head in spite of hard times. This is a story that takes place in San Francisco in 1910, yet rings true in today’s times as well.

 

The cast is composed of many of your favorite Players’ actors and actresses, and veteran actress Lena Luongo will be playing the role of Mama. Lena lives in Tilton and works in Concord, and she has been a Pittsfield Players member since 1980. Lena has been seen in many Players’ shows over the years, including 20 years with the Encore troupe, and has performed in Streetcar Company productions in Laconia. Lena brings her strong vocal talent and acting ability to the role of Mama, her first leading lady role in all the years she has performed with the Players. Her first show with the Players was The Music Man, and her favorite shows were Two By Two and Charlie’s Aunt. In “I Remember Mama”, Lena’s talents shine in the major role of Mama.

 

Wayne A. Sevin of Belmont will be playing the role of Papa Hansen. He has appeared in numerous productions over the years with the Majestic Theatre in Manchester and has also been seen on stage with the Streetcar Company in Laconia and the Village Players in Wolfeboro. Years ago, he performed with the Pittsfield Players in their Encore Show and in their production of HMS Pinafore. Some of his favorite roles included Captain Georg Von Trapp in The Sound of Music, Horace Vandergelder in Hello Dolly and Emile de Becque in South Pacific. Wayne is very happy to return to the Pittsfield Players stage in this production and to be working with such a talented cast. His tenor/baritone voice is perfect for the Richard Rodgers score, and his acting skills add depth to his character of Lars Hansen.

 

“I Remember Mama” is directed by Maye Hart, produced by Mo Demers, with choreography by Carole Neveux, set design by Jim Hart, and Doris George as stage manager and Phil Breton as music director. Tickets will be going fast for these performances, so make your reservations now!

 

Next Behind the Scenes: The Hansen children.


 

Letter To The Editor

I supported a law requiring a voter to identify themselves. The reason we want people to identify themselves is to protect the votes of legitimate voters. Any time a person votes when they are not entitled to vote, it cancels the vote of a legitimate registered voter.  Voter identification is meant to protect your vote from being cancelled.


On Primary election day, the comment I heard most often was, “It’s about time voters were asked to prove who they said they were.”  There have been no complaints to me as a State Representative about voter identification. It makes me wonder what all the hoopla is about. People I talk to are happy to help protect the rights of all voters, to only count the votes of those who are members of their community.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Open House And Station Tour

 

The members and Officers of the Pittsfield Fire Department and Pittsfield Firefighters Association invite you to attend a Fire Prevention Open House and Station Tour on Wednesday, October 17 from 5 pm to 7 pm at 33 Catamount Road. For several years, the Fire Department has held a Fire Prevention Week Open House in October in conjunction with, and to reinforce, fire safety presentations conducted in the schools and throughout the community during the month.


This year, we have something very special to share. Over the past few months, the building has been under-going a transformation and we invite citizens to stop in and see the progress that has been made. It is with sincere appreciation we thank GEF and Linda Freese of Pittsfield for making this possible.  Through their steadfast support and generous donation to the Pittsfield Firefighters Association, the apparatus bay has been professionally cleaned, interior painting has been done throughout the entire station, ceiling tiles have been replaced where needed, and interior and exterior lighting has been upgraded and replaced to be energy-efficient.  Individual gear lockers for firefighters’ turn-out gear have also been ordered.

 

For several years, the Association has looked at various ways to raise funds for Class A dress uniforms, with little success.   Thanks to GEF and Linda, this challenging goal has been met. 

 

These expressions of generosity and kindness contribute greatly to the pride our members have in serving and representing our community and in providing emergency services.  It is with great sincerity we say thank you to GEF and Linda.

 

The purpose of the Pittsfield Firefighters Association, a 501(c)(3) organization, is to promote the welfare and well being of the Pittsfield Fire Department and the members thereof, both active and retired, and to promote the betterment of fire and rescue operations in the Town of Pittsfield.  Find us on Facebook at: Pittsfield Firefighters Association.
