Strike and Cast Party!

After a weekend full of excitement, it was time to say goodbye to the Spring One-Acts. Yesterday, the cast and crew took down the set of the play. The stage, Green Room, and shop were cleaned, giving us all a sense of emptiness. Just a couple of days ago, the stage and Green Room bustled with actors and stage managers. Everything seemed quiet….too quiet.

The silence didn’t last long because we headed over to Ms. Norris’ house for our cast party. She kindly hosted the cast party at her house, which was beautifully situated near a lake. After a short dip in the lake, we went back indoors where we played ‘Hot seat,” a game in which we reminisced our past accomplishments and thanked others for their service. It was very emotional, but we were glad to put a closure on the experience. After Hot Seat, we celebrated with pizza and cake. For the remainder of the evening, we laughed and talked until it was time to go back to school.

I would like to thank everyone that came to our performance. We hope you had a great time! I would also like to thank everyone who participated in the Spring One-Acts. I am very honored to have been part of this wonderful cast. A special thanks to Liz, Thomas, Craig, and Hung for leading us in the right direction. Your exemplary character will remain with us at Berkshire as you embark on your college adventures. We will miss you!

Thank You from the cast and crew of Anything Goes!!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to see our production of Anything Goes! Here are a few quick thank you's from cast members as they leave the theater after striking the set.

Strike and Cast Party!

After three very successful shows and an entire season filled with hard work, dedication, and fun, The Importance of Being Earnest has come to an end. On Sunday morning, the cast and crew gathered one last time to participate in ‘Strike,’ a theater term that means taking down the set. The props were taken back to the props room, the platforms were put back into the shop, and the Green Room was reorganized and cleaned. Thanks to everyone’s collaborative effort, we managed to finish fairly quickly.

However, the fun did not end there! Right after Strike, Ms. Warner was nice enough to host the cast party at her house! At the cast party, we all talked, ate pizza, ice cream and played with Ms. Warner’s cat, Tux. It was really nice to get away from campus and just have a little bit of fun, especially after a busy week!

The cast party ended with a game called “Hot Seat.” During the game, we had each of the cast and crew members sit in a seat (the Hot Seat) while everyone else gathered around and thanked them for what they had contributed toward the production. The production definitely created new friendships and great memories. It’s what I like to call a lifetime experience!
