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 Traffic Commission OKs Stop Signs, Parking Requests

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Traffic Commission granted stop signs and downtown parking requests during its recent regular meeting.

A petition from Ward 7 Councilor Kathy Moody to install stop signs at the corner of Thomas Road and Thomas Island Road was approved. One sign will be installed at Thomas Road and Thomas Island Road, and one at the corner of Thomas Island Road and Pecks Road.

Moody said for some reason, people don't understand they need to stop at the "very clear" intersection into the neighborhood alongside Onota Lake off Peck's Road.

"It's really difficult to see right there. Because of the corners, people are not stopping, and I have several phone calls from constituents that live on Thomas Island who have nearly been in very bad accidents there," she explained about the corner of Thomas Road and Thomas Island Road.

"If we could put a stop sign there, that would be terrific. It would help improve the safety of the neighborhood. It's a very small neighborhood. The roads are narrow. There are pedestrians everywhere. Having a stop sign to protect people at that almost blind corner would be very useful."

Police Sgt. David Hallas couldn't recall any significant vehicle accidents in that area, but said that speeding on that section of Peck's Road is "quite an issue."

Other commissioners commented that the roads on the island are very narrow, and it is one of the few places with mirrors so that drivers can see around corners.

Ward 1 Councilor Kenneth Warren's request for a stop sign at the intersection of Partridge Road and Oak Hill Road was also approved. He said it is a similar situation to Thomas Island.
