The evening has something for everyone and someone for everything.

Community Health Programs has named Christa Gariepy as its director of operations.

This is a play with politics that could not be realized in any time but our own, and it should survive as a symbol of its time.

What I am referring to is the vast amount of playwriting talent there is in this area. We have plays in development, plays and musicals in production, and some that are being written at this very moment!

The 10 10-minute plays, divided by one intermission, feature 10 playwrights who, each with remarkable economy, illuminate some aspect of life—in the everyday, in the home or in the news—as we are living it, like it or not, in this 2019 winter of discontent.

The play that ends the first half of the program, 'Pipeline' written by Michael Brady and directed by Julianne Boyd, is utterly moving and effective as three exuberant protestors on the edge of a mountain forest in south Berkshire County are confronted by an actual moment of disaster.

This year, the seventh, we get to know some writers with delicious senses of humor and some characters we will never forget.

The play presents us with a channel into the minds of a tormentor and his victim that speaks volumes about our current political situation.

This is the way I like to begin spring. New plays that speak volumes in mere minutes. Fine performances that grow characters quickly and definitively.
