Drury Loss Pits Braves Against S. Hadley
PITTSFIELD - March Madness has arrived in Pittsfield! Only this time, we're talking about high school basketball.
The Taconic boys' basketball team has advanced to the Western Mass. Championship Game this Saturday, March 8, at 4 p.m. at the Curry Hicks Cage at UMass in Amherst. Taconic will be playing South Hadley High School, who defeated Drury High School 57-52 on Thursday night in Amherst during the Western Mass Division II semifinal game.
Drury had a 10-point lead at halftime but South Hadley rallied to win the game. Taconic had beaten Hoosac Valley on Tuesday night, 66-52, at the Cage to advance to the championships.
WBEC 1420 and Taconic High School radio station 89.7 WTBR-FM, both in Pittsfield, will carry the championship game Saturday afternoon beginning with the pregame show at 3:45.
Barrington Stage Producing 'Seussical'
PITTSFIELD - First it was "Fame" in 2006, then it was Disney's "High School Musical" last summer. Now, the Barrington Stage Company is holding auditions for its summer youth production of "Seussical – the Musical."
Sound familiar? Think of anything by Dr. Seuss and you'll probably see it on stage this summer. Area teenage performers will be auditioning for roles as The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, "Gertrude McFuzz" (the self-conscious little bird who leaves Horton with her egg) and, of course, the Whos including Mr. and Mrs. Mayor and a collection of Whoville citizens.
Auditions will be held ages 13 through 19 on Friday, March 14, from 6 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, March 15, from 10 to 7, with callbacks to follow. All auditions will take place at the Barrington Stage Company's 30 Union St. stage.
"Seussical – The Musical" will run from July 16 through Aug. 17 at the First Congregational Church in Pittsfield.
