A dream come true!

To the Editor of THE EAGLE:
    I was born and raised in Berkshire County, and like many of the people who live here, I took a lot of the things we have in this area for granted. There are many popular theaters to the North and South of us and we all hoped something could be done to boost the business and entertainment factor in Pittsfield. The opening of the Colonial Theatre might just be what we were waiting for, but I wonder if all the anticipation of it has overshadowed the smaller theaters with just as much to offer.

    On Oct. 7, my Mom accompanied me to a brilliant show at The Barrington Stage Company in Pittsfield. Television and Broadway star, Sandy Duncan and the cast of "Mame" made me smile and laugh till my sides hurt. Mom was more than happy to get up out of her wheelchair, stand on unsteady feet and give the entire cast and crew a standing ovation with everyone else in the audience. The actors, the musicians, everyone behind the scenes and the theater in itself made our night out an unbelievable experience.

    Barrington Stage is a cozy intimate theater where no seat has a bad seat. I fell in love with it the moment I set foot inside. Mom and I were treated extremely well and I'd like to thank them for that. It's wonderful to see big performers like Sandy Duncan in the smaller theaters. I believe it gives the audience more of a one on one experience with the characters and somehow makes us feel like we're part of the show. It brought me back to my childhood when I used to watch Sandy Duncan every week on "The Hogan Family." She is an incredible performer, who I never in my life imagined I would see live. It's a memorable show in a beautiful theater that I highly recommend you see before it's too late. My sincere kudos to the extreme talents of everyone involved with the production of this show. I already have our tickets to go see "Mame" one more time on its final performance Sunday. Maybe we'll see you there.
