GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. The Triplex Cinema announces a special screening of "Mamma Mia !", the Abba musical starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Christine Baranski, Julie Waters, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Dominic Cooper and Stellan Skarsgard.

Tickets include a celebration packet of confetti, glow sticks, cue sheets and other themed items. Tickets are available for purchase at www.thetriplexcinema.com for the June 14 screening at 8:30 pm.

"Mamma Mia !," released in 2008, is a jukebox musical romantic comedy based on the award-winning theatrical production. The film features the songs of the pop group ABBA and tells the story of a young bride-to-be who invites three men to her upcoming wedding, without telling her mother, with the possibility that any of them could be her real father. Meryl Streep plays Donna, an independent hotelier who is preparing for her daughter's wedding with the help of two old friends, played by Julie Waters and Christine Baranski. Amanda Seyfried plays her daughter Sophie, and Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard play her possible fathers. The film takes place on the fictional island of Kalokairi and was filmed mostly on location on the islands of Skopelos and Skiathos in Greece.

Mamma Mia ! was a gigantic worldwide hit and spawned a sequel and other theatrical productions. The best-selling Mamma Mia ! soundtrack album features sixteen ABBA songs and reached number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The DVD release broke records around the world and is one of the best-selling DVD's of all time.

Letter: Southern Berkshire Ambulance Expresses Gratitude for Support

Letter to the Editor07:00PM / Saturday, August 08, 2026

To the Editor:

Over the next nine months, the Southern Berkshire Ambulance Squad (SBAS) will take delivery of two new ambulances, at a cost of roughly $1 million, to replace two vehicles that are very much on their last wheels. Lacking that $1 million, SBAS had to put out an emergency call of its own. I write to share the wonderful news that Berkshire Preservation Inc. (BPI) more than answered our call.

BPI's board, which includes Carole Owens, Louis Schroeter, Wende and David Carver, Nelson Furlano, and Todd Ehrlich worked tirelessly to organize a benefit concert at the Colonial Theatre that netted $98,877 for SBAS. We saw firsthand how hard they worked to bring it off, and we could not be more grateful to be the beneficiaries of their efforts and generosity.

SBAS answers your emergency calls 24/7/365. It means a great deal to us that when we were the ones in need, BPI answered ours. If you would like to learn more about BPI, and you should, please go to preservationinc.org.

With deep gratitude,

Ken Schumacher
Great Barrington, Mass.

Ken Schumacher is president of the board of directors
