Dear Friends,

The Colonial is one of America’s most remarkable historic theaters. The community of the Berkshires restored its splendor and returned its function so the excitement of performances may be shared with residents and visitors alike for years to come.

You are the most important person here today. If this is your first or hundred-and-first visit to the theater, we want you to have a personally satisfying experience. Our performers, staff and volunteers are all committed to making your experience so good you will want to tell friends and family that they too should come to the Colonial.

The Colonial is an interactive experience. We bring some of the world’s best live entertainment to your doorstep while also making the theater available for our local performers. Your applause and participation as an audience member is essential. By purchasing a ticket for this performance, you’ve helped make the program possible. By also making an individual or business contribution to The Colonial Theatre each year, you will have “completed the circle,” providing the crucial capital necessary to continue to successfully operate the theater. If you’ve not yet done so, we hope you will consider making a sustaining gift today.

The Colonial exists to serve this community. Please guide us with your suggestions and support us to the greatest extent that you can. Finally, we hope you’ll look over the lists and ads of businesses and individuals who are our supporters and thank them for today’s performance. Attend, applaud, donate, volunteer!

Colonial Educational Outreach Committee

Education programs are a fundamental component of the Colonial’s mission to serve the community. Performing Arts for Schools events allow students to experience diverse, educational and entertaining, programs that reinforce classroom curriculum, while fostering an understanding of, and appreciation for, the performing arts.

Performing Arts for Schools Education FundThe Colonial Theatre’s Education program is such an important facet in enhancing the curriculum and inspiring the minds of local students that donors are stepping forward to guarantee that all students, regardless of financial situation, will have access to this creativity-building resource. We extend our sincere gratitude to the following individuals and businesses for their generosity:

Nuclea Biotechnologies/ Patrick J. Muraca established a multi-year fund to subsidize tickets to the Colonial’s Performing Arts for Schools programs, for Pittsfield public schoolchildren who qualify for financial assistance.

Ruth & Nicholas Boraski established an endowment gift, the income from which will be used to provide scholarships for student tickets to the Colonial’s Performing Arts for Schools programs.

Linda O’Connell established a multi-year fund to annually underwrite the Colonial’s Performing Arts for Schools programs.

Nancy Vale established a charitable remainder trust in the name of her late husband Michael Vale to provide scholarships for student tickets to the Colonial’s Performing Arts for Schools programs.

Colonial’sthe

AmAzingHistoryThe Colonial Theatre opened its doors on September 28, 1903, and quickly became one of the Berkshire’s liveliest and most popular cultural institutions. Pittsfield was a vibrant, growing center of commerce and industry and an increasingly popular tourist destination for vacationers. Crane Paper was expanding rapidly, scores of new companies were launching, General Electric Company had recently purchased the local Stanley Electric Manufacturing Company and Pittsfield was unquestionably on a roll.

From its opening until it became primarily a movie theater in the mid-1930s, the Colonial was one of the premier playhouses in America. It hosted more stars of the American theater than any comparable theater still in existence. William Gillette, Eubie Blake, Al Jolson, George M. Cohan, Lillian Russell, John and Ethel Barrymore, Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne, Helen Hayes, Ed Wynn, Billie Burke, Will Rogers and Sarah Bernhardt are just a few of the best-known stars who appeared on

its stage. When it closed as a theater in 1952, the Colonial was concealed behind the temporary walls and ceiling in Miller Supply Co., which, from a restoration point of view, was profoundly fortunate. For nearly fifty years, the grand interior existed in a sort of time capsule, thus preserving one of the few remaining theaters designed by noted theater architect J.B. McElfatrick. Of the estimated 300 playhouses McElfatrick designed between 1860 and 1906, the Colonial is one of only a dozen or so still standing, and is one of only two that have been restored.

The Colonial Theatre was designated a National Historic Treasure by the National Park Service in 1998. In 2001, the theater was purchased from the Miller family by The Colonial Theatre Association, and the temporary walls and ceilings were removed. After years of design and planning, the extensive restoration, from the initial demolition to opening night in August 2006, took approximately twenty-two months,

and preserved and reinstated all historically significant architectural and design features.

Since the Colonial’s reopening in 2006, visitors have been awed by the vaulted gilded entrance, the elaborately decorated boxes and balcony, the exquisitely painted ornamental detail, the meticulously crafted custom plasterwork, the uppermost gallery with rare high-backed “pew” seating and the “sail vault” over the proscenium, which includes a central mural representing art and music.

People came from all over Berkshire County and the surrounding area during the early 20th century to attend performances at the Colonial. It was a favorite destination and central gathering place for residents and visitors alike. Today, the Colonial’s prominence continues. The theater maintains its strong community heritage and symbolizes the enormous spectrum of possibilities for growth and new vitality.

1908Touring productions changed almost nightly and featured concerts, operas, plays, boxing shows and even horse racing. The Great Creatore’s Italian Orchestra and the John Philip Sousa Orchestra made their first of many appearances, as did famous actors Maude Adams, John and Ethel Barrymore, William Faversham, William Gillette, Chauncy Olcott, Lillian Russell and Al Jolson. Ben Hur featured an actual chariot race on the stage with eight horses.

1912The Colonial was purchased from the Sullivan brothers by the newly formed Pittsfield Theatre Co., a group of local businessmen and engineers that included Daniel England, John Kelly and E.H. Eaton. Noted players such as George Arliss, Billie Burke, Julia Marlowe, Blanche Ring,

Will Rogers, E.H. Sothern and Laurette Taylor

made numerous appearances.

Pictured: Will Rogers

1915The Pittsfield Theatre Co. sold the Colonial to Goldstein Brothers Amusement Co. of Springfield, MA. Performances included Walter Hampden in Hamlet and Sarah Bernhardt as Joan of Arc. In the early ’20s the Colonial hosted dozens of stars, including Irene Dunne, Anna Pavlova, the Ballets Russes and Sergei Rachmaninoff.

Pictured: Sarah Bernhardt

1903The Colonial opened on Monday, September 28, with a sold-out performance of DeKoven’s Robin Hood by the Bostonians, featuring famed star Henry Barnabee.

1927The Colonial presented Eubie Blake in his own production of Shuffle Along. George M. Cohan appeared in his hit, The Song and Dance Man. In a curtain speech Cohan praised Pittsfield and the Colonial as “the best theater in America.” A teen-age Helen Hayes, Alfred Lunt, Sir Harry Lauder and the incomparable comedian/playwright Ed Wynn also appeared in the mid-’20s.

Pictured: Eubie Blake

1934The Depression and the reform of American theater labor practices curtailed popular touring companies. One of the Colonial’s final productions was The Royal Family, starring Thelma Ritter and Rex Fall. 1934 marked the closing of the Colonial.

1937The Colonial reopened as a first-run movie house. Occasionally touring shows also played the Colonial, including Abie’s Irish Rose, Life with Father, Dear Ruth, The Hasty Heart and Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which made its last appearance at the Colonial in September 1945.

1950The Colonial permanently closed as a movie house.

Pictured: The Colonial Theatre

1952The Colonial Theatre was placed up for auction in November. George Miller was the lowest bidder on the property but won because he was the only bidder who wanted to preserve the theater. One final performance, Curse You, Jack Dalton, was given by the Pittsfield Town Players on December 21, 1952.

2001The Colonial Theatre Association purchased the Colonial from the Miller family in August.

2004Demolition began for the Colonial’s restoration.

2007Singer-songwriter James Taylor chose the Colonial to record and film his One Man Band CD/DVD. Tickets sold out quickly for the two live performances.

Ticket sales and other earned revenue cover roughly two thirds of the cost of maintaining and programming The Colonial Theatre each year. Individual annual gifts of support from friends, combined with support from area businesses, are essential to achieve excellence in programming and service at the Colonial.

If you are not already part of the growing group of your friends and neighbors listed in this book who have made The Colonial Theatre one of their gift priorities, we hope you’ll consider joining today! We are pleased to provide some benefits for membership. But the most important benefit of supporting the Colonial is the knowledge that you have helped sustain one of the Berkshire’s most important year-round, cultural assets.

Thank you for your consideration if you are thinking of joining. Thank you for your help if you already have.

Society of American Travel Writers Phoenix Award Recipient, 2008 The Phoenix Award was created to give appropriate recognition for individuals or organizations actively involved in conservation, preservation, beautification and anti-pollution campaigns which further the growth and appeal of North American travel destinations.

Preservation Massachusetts Paul E. Tsongas Award Recipient, 2008 Recognizes exceptional efforts in promoting historical preservation across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

“The Tsongas Award honors those who are helping us take preservation into the 21st century and beyond. We recognize these individuals and organizations for their leadership and excellence in preservation, but also for their vision and their often unwavering dedication in the face of much uncertainty. The Colonial Theatre, along with the other four Tsongas Awarded projects, embodies the spirit behind the Tsongas Award. The impact the Colonial has made upon Pittsfield is evident and serves as an excellent example for how historic preservation can inspire revitalization at the community level.” –Jim Igoe, President of Preservation Massachusetts

Best Live Theater, Berkshire Eagle Reader’s Choice, 2007, 2008, 2009 Best of the Berkshires

7 Wonders of the Berkshires, Berkshire Eagle Contest, 2007 “In an area filled with wondrous attractions, Pittsfield’s handsomely restored, 104-year-old Colonial Theatre and Williamstown’s 51-year-old Clark Art Institute are the most wondrous. The two cultural institutions placed first and second, respectively.”

Best Venue (Showroom), Metroland 2008 Best of the Capital Region “Just walking in to this impeccably restored and gilded-up-the-wazoo little theater is an event in itself. In a region blessed with a bunch of nicely restored theaters, nothing else really comes close to the Colonial in terms of a visceral jolt.”

Best Theater Restoration, Metroland 2007 Best of the Capital Region “Go to see anything here, but leave ample time to have your breath quietly stolen as the meticulously restored theater transports you back to the 19th century in all of its architectural splendor, gilt elegance and artisans’ pride. From the original seating in the balcony to the sweeping embrace of the mezzanine and box seats to the exceptionally plush seating in the orchestra and the magnificent acoustics, sightlines, and proscenium, the labor of love begun by Robert Boland evokes tears of joy.”
