Program Notes
Producer's Note from the program
Tonight, you will be traveling. Leave your cares behind and join us on a trip to Scotland and the village of "Brigadoon". I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself.
Sit back and relax as Peter Quince creates a new world in front of you, using lights, sets, costumes and most of all - people. Someone you may have known well is now another person who lives there, on the other side of the lights, in "Brigadoon".
It has been my pleasure to have served as producer this summer. I have enjoyed being a part of this organization. The spirit of Peter quince is unlike anything i have ever witnessed. It is beautiful to see the accomplishments of these people - the cast, orchestra and crews of "Brigadoon". I am proud of every member.
Thanks are definitely in order tonight. First, to everyone involved with this show, thank you. This has been Peter Quince's finest season and it has been due to all of you. Then to everyone who has come to see the show, thank you. I hope you find the performance worthwhile and continue to support PQ in the future.
Finally, as one of my last official acts, I would like to dedicate this show, on behalf of the entire company, to the person who made it all possible with his dreams - Reed Humphrey.
Thank you,
Fred Sharpe
Producer
Director's Note from the program
"I think the real loneliness is not bein' in love in vain, but not bein' in love at all." - Fiona
A longing for purpose and meaning in life never leaves us--that often wistful dream of something that is somehow better. Each of us clings to a hope of creating that dream, searching for beauty, for peace, for happiness. for a Brigadoon. Yet today that quest has become so frantic and so sophisticated that we seem somewhere to have lost the one most important thing of all--that rare ability to really love, and be open and sensitive to a world that needs loving so badly.
Whether Brigadoon is actually a village in Scotland, or merely a state of mind, is up to you to decide. The vision of a far-off, mist-covered Brigadoon may be a delicate but fleeting illusion; the perception of a Brigadoon here and now can be a real and living way of seeing the world. For a deep love of this world and all its people may suddenly find you at your own opening in the mist, with a whole new view of the world stretching out beyond. . .at a bridge in your mind, awaiting only your decision to cross.
