Priscilla Beach Theatre Greatest Hits of 2018 - "Bye, Bye, Birdie," Priscilla Beach, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA



This Greatest Hits series will present a very few of my favorite images from each of the 2018 performance season's six major productions on the iconic Priscilla Beach Theatre Barn Stage. The evocative and emotive star-power of these young performers really struck me as extraordinary.

Bob and Sandy Malone, owners, guardians, and producers of Priscilla Beach Theatre (PBT) brought this production of "Bye, Bye, Birdie" to their Barn Stage in August 2018. The production was directed by Erik Bloomquist.

At each final dress rehearsal at Priscilla Beach Theatre (PBT), I capture hundreds of images. From those, I will pick a cross-section that portrays many/most of the scenes and the performers. Those I publish in blogs. Many of the performers will then use those images to help build their portfolios. A very few of the images, however, stick in my mind and heart - they capture a special moment of beauty and/or emotion.

Those special moments I include here in this post.
















































































If you want to see all the images from this production again, follow this link to my earlier blog posts. Check back in coming weeks as I post more Greatest Hits blogs about the other major shows from last season.



The Barn Stage, a 240-seat venue, is in its 82nd season and is cited as the oldest summer stock barn theatre still operating in America. The original barn was built in 1875. The current owners, Bob and Sandy Malone, completed a modernization and renovation effort in 2014-15 and also installed new seats and new state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems at that time.

Coming soon!!
