Cast Party, Priscilla Beach Theatre, Priscilla Beach, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

Following a whirlwind of activity this summer at Priscilla Beach Theatre (PBT), owners and guardians Bob and Sandy Malone, hosted the end of season cast party on this perfect summer day in New England. Over the summer, there were five different children's workshops on the outdoor stage each of which culminated with four public performances, one young adult production and performances on the indoor black box theatre, and one adult production and performances also on the indoor black box theatre.  Hours and hours of rehearsals had to be scheduled and held. All this while the major renovation efforts are underway at the adjacent barn theatre as well as other physical improvements around the PBT campus.

But summer is not the end.  Two new performances are already scheduled for the fall in the black box theatre. Visit the PBT website or call 508-224-4888 for more information.

More images from the party..........

Preparing for the group photo - getting all these folks lined up was like herding cats.

This was the first group photo before we realized some people were missing (the first image at the top of this blog post has everyone - we think).

The owners and directors.

Owners, directors, and production staff.

Director Connie DiLego and actors Geronimo Sands and Cliff Blake are the principals in "Tuesdays With Morrie."

This special group of folks were Tufts University students in the mid-1970's who rented PBT and created their own theatre magic. Over those three summers they produced high quality theatre while sticking to the traditional fast paced format of summer stock theatre.

And saving the best for last............here are the two people who make all of it possible - Priscilla Beach Theatre owners and guardians, Bob and Sandy Malone.

Note: While I was busy "herding the cats" at this event, all the images in this blog post (except the last two which I made) were created and provided by Amy Davies, founder and leader of the Plymouth Digital Photographers Club.
