PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The BCC Players at Berkshire Community College (BCC) invite community members, students, faculty, staff, and local performers to audition for their Spring 2026 production of "The Prom."

Auditions will be held on Thursday, Feb. 26 and Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Robert Boland Theatre (K-110) on BCC's main campus in the Koussevitzky Arts Center.

Actors should prepare:

A 1–2-minute monologue (or a brief story/fairy tale), and
A short song (approximately 32 bars), preferably from a musical that best showcases vocal range.

Auditioners are encouraged to bring backing tracks if needed.

According to a press release:

The "Prom" tells the story of four eccentric Broadway actors who travel to a small town to help a high school student banned from bringing her girlfriend to the prom. With humor, heart, and dazzling musical numbers, the show celebrates inclusion, acceptance, and the power of standing up for what's right.

The production is open to BCC students as well as members of the broader Berkshire community. No prior affiliation with the College is required.

Those unable to attend auditions on the scheduled dates but wishing to be considered should contact Alzie Mercado at amercado@berkshirecc.edu or Thomas Towne at ttowne@berkshirecc.edu to arrange an alternative audition opportunity.

Pittsfield Council OKs Funds for Plow Truck; Refers Council Pay Recommendation

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Winter is right around the corner, and Pittsfield plans to purchase a vehicle to increase its snow-plowing capacity.

On Tuesday, the City Council approved the transfer of $200,000 from the Public Works Stabilization Fund for equipment. The Department of Public Services will purchase a one-ton truck equipped with an all-season body, snowplow, wing, and spreader.

Commissioner of Public Services and Utilities Ricardo Morales said it is something the department would like to have for supervision and expanding its work.

"We need this piece of equipment to have a supervisor be able to go on the mains with a wing plow and assist on that as needed, and be able to pick up that wing and go to a neighborhood street and be able to assist with snow plowing in a neighborhood street," he explained.

"And at the same time be able to jump throughout the city because he's supervising as well, making sure that there's volume."

A comparable truck is included in Pittsfield's capital plan.

These vehicles normally need to be ordered 10 to 12 months ahead of delivery, but Morales said Pittsfield identified one that can be expedited; he did not say how quickly.

"Approving funding now gives us the best chance of having the truck built and in service for the coming snow season," he wrote in a communication to the council.
