The Colonial Announces 2009–2010 Season

09:32AM / Wednesday, March 25, 2009

PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The Colonial Theatre announces its 2009–2010 season. Tickets are on sale now to Members and to the general public on April 7. Membership begins at $50. Season four begins on June 4, 2009 with a four-show run of Mel Brooks’ The Producers and concludes on May 8, 2010 with the double-bill, family show Goodnight Moon & The Runaway Bunny. Tickets may be purchased in person at the Colonial Ticket Office at 111 South Street Monday-Friday 10am-5pm, by calling (413) 997-4444 or online beginning April 7 at www.TheColonialTheatre.org.

Many months of preparation have gone into organizing this diverse and exciting season at the Colonial. Highlights include: The Second City, Canadian Brass, Mel Brooks’ The Producers, Richie Havens, Sister’s Christmas Catechism, P.D.Q. Bach & Peter Schickele, The Irish Rovers, The Wedding Singer, David Sedaris, The Glenn Miller Orchestra, Herman’s Hermit’s Starring Peter Noone, Seussical, James Naughton, Tom Chapin, The Dave Brubeck Quartet and Mandy Patinkin.

The 12 month season is divided into 11 series including: Broadway, Just for Laughs, Great Night Out, Pop & Rock, Classical, Family Time, American Cabaret Theatre, Singer–Songwriter, Woodstock at 40, Spoken Word and Holiday Cheer. Each series includes some of the most talented artists and live entertainers in their respective fields.

“Our ongoing mission is to be a community resource in entertainment and education. We purposely present programs that appeal to the broadest possible audience. Our goal is to make the performing arts as inclusive as possible,” says David Fleming, Colonial Executive Director.

Greylock Federal Credit Union is the exclusive sponsor for the Family Time series for a fourth year. Individual event sponsors include Berkshire Bank for Girl’s Night: The Musical, Nelson Furlano, CPA for An Nollaig: An Irish Christmas with Eileen Ivers. Crane & Co. and The Legacy Banks Foundation have made generous sponsorship donations to support the entire season. Berkshire Life Insurance Company, Cain Hibbard & Myers, PC and Interprint, Inc. are co-sponsoring the Colonial’s Performing Arts for Schools Program this season.

“We have so many generous and visionary people to thank for the restoration and success of this architectural treasure. The ongoing support from local businesses and the acceptance of the people in the community is tremendous. I hope everyone who has caught the spirit of this great theatre will buy tickets, participate as advertisers and become annual contributors through memberships,” says Gary Scarafoni, President, Colonial Theatre Board of Trustees.

“We have established two new partnerships this year, the first with C-R Productions of Cohoes to bring The Producers and The Mikado, the second with The Berkshire Symphony Orchestra for two performances in the fall. We are proud to continue our involvement with the Pittsfield CityJazz Festival and support of Think Pink among many community groups,” says David Fleming, Executive Director.

This season, the Colonial is collaborating with many local community organizations and presenters along with Think Pink and the Pittsfield CityJazz Festival, including: The Legacy Banks Foundation Lecture Series, Chapters Book Store, Romance, Soul Rock n’ Roll, Berkshire Concert Choir, The Berkshire Bridal Show, Ballets Metropolis, Berkshire Symphony Orchestra, Berkshire Bach Society, Oldies but Goodies, Albany Berkshire Ballet, Westfield State College, Warren Miller and many more to be announced.
