> signed on. And they are all here in western Mass! (read on below for  
> the many others who can't wati to grace the lobby of the beautiful  
> Colonial Theatre in downtown Pittsfield.

> Right now I'm looking to build the food and entertainment side of

> I'd like to find musicians who can play Cole Porter, Strauss (think  
> 2001 a Space Oddessy) and just about any song from Dirty Dancing

> We need a mike and an small sound system. Nothing fancy. I can give

> We need a LCD projector and a screen. Eugene Mamut, our Academy

> Lighting would be nice. Again, nothing fancy. There's a company in

> We also have just about every business that supports a film shoot,

> We have a famed Berkshire film festival, arts organizations, the

> All of Mass media, some NYC/NJ and New England are receiving the
