The Richie duPont Award was started in memory of the talented young actor, Richie duPont, who was a part of the Berkshire Theatre Group community, where he performed in two productions on The Fitzpatrick Main Stage. To honor his memory, the fund was established in 2005 to enable children to pursue their dreams of being on stage and afford them the opportunity to attend one of the BTG PLAYS! camp sessions.

The Annual Richie duPont Award Event will celebrate the life of Richie duPont and send kids to BTG PLAYS! summer acting camps. The Interlopers band will perform, and there will be a silent auction and light fare.

Drawing upon the uplifting sounds of classic R&B/Soul as well as '70s era rock and pop music, The Interlopers create a unique and fresh approach to feel-good music style all their own. Comprised of Berklee College of Music standouts, The Interlopers are sure to inspire listeners of all ages to jump to their feet, smile from ear to ear and dance with a joyful ferocity. The band: Lead Vocalist and Drummer, Curtis Kelley; Guitarist, Nicholas Veinoglou; Keyboardist and Vocalist, Myles Sweeney; Bassist and Vocalist, Nick Frenay; Trumpet Player Ariel Shrum and Saxophonist Kyle Champeon.

Sponsored by Firefly, Maureen Stanton, David Winn and Your Color Connection.
