Print Story | Email Story
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.

Morningside Closed Friday for Flooding Cleanup

Staff Reports
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Morningside Community School will be closed Friday, May 8, because of flooding in the building. 
 
According to a post on the Pittsfield Public Schools' Facebook page, a pipe that was damaged in a student bathroom caused a "large amount of water" to seep into carpets and other areas near the bathroom.
 
The post doesn't say how the pipe was damaged but that the flooding occurred shortly before dismissal on Thursday. 
 
Because of the water damaged, the school will be closed Friday so the affected spaces can be properly cleaned and dried.
 
The post states the school's custodial team will be preparing the building so students and staff can safely return on Monday, May 11, and that additional information will be posted as needed. 
 
All other schools will be open for regularly scheduled classes.
