Berkshire Theatre Group to Hold 9th Annual Richie duPont Award Event, 5/30

By:

Berkshire Theatre Group will be holding the 9th Annual Richie duPont Award Event on Friday May 30 at 8pm at Firefly Restaurant in Lenox.

Tickets to the 9th Annual Richie duPont Award Event are $20. Contact the Colonial Ticket Office at 111 South Street, Pittsfield by calling 413-997-4444. Tickets can also be purchased at the door the day of the event or online at www.BerkshireTheatreGroup.org. The Ticket Office is open Monday-Friday 10am-5pm, Saturdays 10am-2pm or on any performance day from 10am until curtain.

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.

Sponsored by Firefly and Your Color Connection with special thanks to David Winn and Maureen Stanton.
