Pittsfield Players Hold Auditions for “I Remember Mama”
The Pittsfield Players will be holding auditions for their fall
musical production of the Richard Rodgers’ classic “I Remember Mama”
at The Scenic Theatre, 6 Depot St., Pittsfield, NH on Sunday, August
19th from 2 to 4 pm, and again on Monday, August 27th at 7 pm.
Auditioners will be asked to sing a song of their choosing (please
bring sheet music or a CD), do a few simple dance steps, and read
from the script.
“I Remember Mama” tells the story of a family of Norwegian
immigrants and begins in the summer of 1910, when oldest daughter
Katrin decides that she will be a writer. Her tale becomes the tale
of the Hansen family as they struggle to survive in America and
prosper. The musical is very much a family friendly show.
Parts are available for 14 wonderful adult characters and 5
children, 4 girls and one boy. The girls are ages 16, 15, 12 and 7,
and the boy is 13 years old. “I Remember Mama” will run November 2,
3, 4, 9 and 10. For more information, call 736-9563.
“Cabaret for a Cure” A Making Strides Benefit Show
Saturday, September 8, 2012 Doors Open And Refreshments at 7 pm
Show at 7:30 pm
Meggin Dail and Katelyn Parker from the Pittsfield Players and The
Village Players of Wolfeboro are teaming up to produce a unique
evening to raise money for The American Cancer Society’s Making
Strides Against Breast Cancer. The evening will be filled with
music, refreshments, giveaways and more. The most important part of
the evening, outside of raising money for an important cause, will
be a portion of the program involving stories and voices from those
who have experienced cancer first hand.
The cast includes Katelyn Parker, Music Director Keith Belanger and
his wife, Katie; also husband and wife team, Angelo and Jean
Gentile; Michael Welch; and Katharine Paiva.
The first part of the evening will center on the theme of raising
awareness of the ACS’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer program
providing inspirational and upbeat songs and stories. The second
half of the evening will be pure Cabaret showcasing Broadway tunes
throughout the years including old favorites and new acts, including
“The Bravest Individual” from Sweet Charity; “Bring On The Men” from
Jekyll and Hyde and “Impossible (things are happening every day)”
from Cinderella.
The evening promises to have something for everyone at the ticket
price of a mere $10.00 with 80% headed to the ACS’s Making Strides
teams of Meggin and Katelyn; and 20% going to The Pittsfield
Players’ Sprinkler Fund. We hope you’ll join us at this event.
Tickets are available through Meggin by calling 736-8073; seating
will be first come first served. Watch the Suncook Valley Sun for
more details.

Letter To The Editor
We at the Pittsfield Food Pantry want to thank the people of
Pittsfield and surrounding towns for their continued support.
Because of your generous donations of money and food we are able to
take care of our needy neighbors.
In March, we asked our community to help us participate in the
Feinstein Foundation Challenge. Over 30 individuals,
businesses and organizations came forward to donate to the Food
Pantry. Based on the donations received the Feinstein Foundation
recently sent the Pittsfield Food Pantry a check for an additional
$256.03. We sincerely appreciate all of the help.
We also want to thank the many people who volunteer their service to
man the Food Pantry. They cover many fields of work – filling
orders, stocking shelves, taking care of patrons, getting things
into their cars, putting all the needed data into the computer, and
shopping for items we cannot obtain from the NH Food Bank, U.S.D.A.
and C.A.P. As you can see we are a very diverse group of
people working together harmoniously for a good cause.
We are open on Mondays from 11 am to 2 pm and 4 pm to 7 pm, on
Thursdays from 11 am to 2 pm. We would like to see all Senior
Citizens who could use some food assistance.
Again I say, “thank you” to all who make this endeavor possible.

TOPS News
Submitted By Terrie Azotea
Well, we had a small group last week at TOPS, but it was a good one.
There was a net loss of 7 pounds for the week. So you all should
give yourselves a pat on the back. It’s a well deserved one. Kudos
to Kay for being the best loser of the week. Keep up the good work!
The Peaches are ahead so far. Come on Green Beans, you can catch up.
Everyone keep track of your points and think before you eat... or
drink!
We had Royalty this past week and we will be walking on Tuesday
night. Pretty soon we won’t be able to walk because the days are
getting shorter and we lose time each day. I, for one, am not
looking forward to it getting darker earlier.
It sure has been a hot summer, but it’s a lot better than sub-zero
temps, that’s for sure. Then we will be stuck in our homes and
thinking that 7:00 pm is late when now we say to ourselves, “It’s
only 7:00” and think we have all the time in the world because it’s
summer. So get that swimming in and all the fun outdoor things you
can do!
We talked about Fall Rally and our Christmas party; scary to think
of that time of year, but it will be here before we know it.
If anyone would like to join us, we meet on Tuesday nights at the
St. Stephen’s Church on Main Street in Pittsfield at 5:30 for weigh
in and meeting at 6:30. Any questions call Laurel Tiede at 269-8721
or Pat Smith at 435-5333.
Thought for the week: “Many of life’s failures are people who did
not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” -
Thomas A. Edison
Have a great week and see you all lighter next week!
