Well ladies and gents-it’s been a pretty incredible spring for WAM Theatre!

We have reached 51 (!) on our 100×100 Campaign, co-hosted the first 24hr Berkshire/Capital Region Project in Troy, NY which involved over 50 Berkshire/Capital Region theatre artists, presented the Russell Sage College ensemble piece ‘I’m not a Feminist, but…‘ in Pittsfield, MA as part of the Berkshire March Festival of Women Writers with a portion of proceeds going to Berkshire Women for Women Worldwide and produced the O Solo Mama Mia Festival in both Troy, NY and Pittsfield, MA, which showcased 5 solo works written and performed by women, was produced in collaboration with an art exhibit of the same name presented by Storefront Artist Project, and led to a donation of $650 to Edna’s Hospital in Somaliland to be used towards the training of a community midwife!

Phew!! What an incredible Spring!!

We will be taking a bit of a break in June to deal with some exciting life changes like new houses and new positions but leave you with this…

MOPCO and RBIT will be having a REMATCH in AUGUST!!!

The Capital Region’s Premiere Improv Comedy Troupe The Mop & Bucket Co. (MOPCO) and The Funniest Thing in The Berkshires, The Royal Berkshire Improv Troupe (RBIT) will once face off in a friendly one night only Theatresports Tournament to raise funds for WAM Theatre. This event sold out last summer and we anticipate the same thing happening this summer. RBIT beat MOPCO by a hair last year and they are raring to get even. ‘Down with you frogs’ was recently heard coming out of the mouth of Mopco’s Michael Burns. Three ‘local celebrity’ judges will once again pass down their judgments and we can’t wait for the fun to begin again!

More info on when/where/how to book tickets to come soon….Yeehaw on an incredible WAM Spring 2011 and Happy Holiday Weekend All!
