Anne is in the Lake District with Aunt Anne.  She exhausts a local guide, because of course she does, and sits down to a dinner of roasted leg of mutton (good, but too fresh killed).

Greenville - Priscilla Mae Chadbourne, beloved wife of 56 years to Carl Chadbourne, passed through the Veil of Glory on February 1, 2018 to be with her Heavenly Father and her special friend her Redeemer. Priscilla was born in Pittsfield, MA to her late parents, Oscar and Alice Herrick, on September 21, 1936 and grew up in the southern Berkshires of Massachusetts in the village of Southfield. Priscilla accepted the Lord as her savior while in the third grade and never wavered with that belief. Priscilla graduated from New Marlborough High School as both class president and valedictorian. She was a graduate of Bob Jones University with a BS degree in Education in 1959. Her first teaching experience was in a two room country schoolhouse, now on the Registry of Historic Buildings, as a third grade teacher. She always regarded those years as especially exciting and loved teaching and seeing children develop to their potential. Whatever she did, whether in what she said or did, was for the glory of god. Priscilla met her husband Carl while both were teaching at the South Egremont School, Egremont, MA. They married and had an adventurous honeymoon traveling across the US and Mexico. Priscilla and Carl moved to Southington, CT and raised their two children. Priscilla continued to share her love of teaching by directing a nursery school and with Sunday school students. Priscilla and Carl retired to South Carolina, where Priscilla continued her love of learning by taking classes to study southern history, eastern European religion, music and US presidents. Priscilla spent much of her retirement devoted to her grandchildren and is especially remembered as a strong and caring presence in their lives. Priscilla is survived by a daughter, Rebecca Hopper ("Sam"), of Greer, SC; a son, Christopher Chadbourne (Jean), of Newton, MA; a granddaughter, Rachel Austin (Robert), of Riverside, CA and three great-grandchildren; granddaughter Elisabeth Rodriguez (Joseph), of Galveston, TX; a granddaughter, Susannah Preacher of Houston, TX; a sister, Jane Grohs (Fred), of Torrington, CT; and a brother, William Herrick, of Dalton, MA. She was predeceased by a grandson, Sgt. Matthew Preacher US Army; and two brothers, Edgar and Johnny, in MA. The family is grateful for the care and support of Lutheran Hospice of Greenville, especially Christine Dixon, Shewanna Nesbit, Hanna Goldstein, and the staff at Rolling Green Village of Greenville. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Fairview Presbyterian Church, PO Box 1664, Fountain Inn, SC, 29644; or to the , South Carolina Chapter, 4124 Clemson Blvd - Ste L, Anderson, SC 29621. A memorial service is scheduled for Monday, February 26th at Rolling Green Village, Greenville, SC. Interment will be in Warren, MA at a later date.Published in The Greenville News on Feb. 7, 2018

[larryland]

            There is a theatrical experience awaiting you at The Egremont Barn in 17 Main Street in South Egremont, Massachusetts.  Not only are they presenting a dynamic production of Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik’s Spring Awakening, but the venue is not your usual theatre space.

The show, a Tony Award-winning best musical in 2006, is a soft-rock musical based on an 1891 play by Frank Wedekind.  The authors have wisely retained the original time and place – 19th century Germany – to lend universality to the plot.  The show centers on the adolescent discovery of sexual desire while confronted and confused by the social restrictions of the time.

In this small town the teen-agers attempt to define themselves through their every day lives in school, at home and in their social circles where sexual pressures and repressions are omni-present.  The story focuses on two heterosexual and one homosexual relationship, though all the young people are feeling surging emotions of sexual energy.  Their parents, teachers and other authority figures forcefully restrict and punish their natural curiosity leading to severe life complications.

The music is not the typical Broadway show tunes; rather, it is a driving force, yet much of the score is gentle and sensitive.  There are several numbers with ferocious sound and lyrics, capturing the vigor of the young.  The major performers Jackson Teeley (Melchior Gabor), Caroline Fairweather (Wendlka Bergmann), Ali Louis Bourzgui (Moritz Steifel), Caitlin Teeley (Ilse Neumann) have beautiful voices and have brought their acting prowess to the lyrics.

The cast is made up local high school and college students who have strong voices and stronger stage presence since this is a very intimate playing space and the actors’ concentration has to be strongly focused as they are only inches away from their audience.  This close proximity pulls the audience directly into the performance and generates profound emotional reactions regardless of age.  Indeed, there were more young people in attendance than the usual older theatregoer.  A good sign!

The venue is a converted barn, thus its name.  Located on the grounds of the Egremont Village Inn, it is usually host to solo or small combo groups on most weekends.  Spring Awakening is their first attempt at a full theatre production.  The space is patron-friendly in that it has a warm, home-like ambience.  Normally there is a restaurant menu available, but food service has been suspended for the run of the show; the bar is open.  The space is dominated by a stone fireplace which is prominent in the staging of the production.

Co-directed by Harrison Lang and Caitlin Teeley, and choreographed by Natalie Sala, the movement within the several scenes and the dance numbers is creative and fluid.  The directors have their actors imbue the dialogue with honesty and intelligence.   They have also paid attention to the dramatic arc of the piece.  To maintain a simplicity required of them by the size of the stage set pieces and props are minimal and what ever is utilized is inventive.

One caveat:  seating is limited.  Since the original run has sold out two additional performances, a Saturday matinee and a Sunday night, have been added. The run ends June 25. For tickets: 413-528-1570.
