Blueberry
Pond Opens New Theatre
Blueberry Pond Theatre Ensemble will mark the opening of its new
theatre space at Shine House in Cedar Lane Park, 235 Cedar Lane,
Ossining, with a gala ribbon-cutting celebration on March
30th at 7:30pm. Founded in 2001, the Ensemble is the only professional
theatre company in Westchester County whose season consists solely
of original work, which is developed in the group’s weekly
lab sessions.
The evening’s events will include a performance of group
President Jean-Paul DeVellard's award-winning one-act play PINK
POODLE DOG, as well as tours of the facility, and refreshments.
PINK POODLE DOG is funny, warm and sometimes sad, about a motley
group of travelers who find themselves waiting for a bus connection
in Louisiana one night, when they meet a strange local townsperson.
The play looks at marching to the beat of a different drummer,
dreams deferred, and friendship, and features Molly Callahan, Cynthia
Granville, Donna James (Ossining), Eric K. Johnston, and Janice
Kirkel (Hartsdale). The play is suitable for family audiences.
Free to the public; donations towards the cost of the theatre renovations
will be welcomed.
DeVellard commented, “The ribbon cutting represents the culmination
of a long, often arduous journey for our dedicated and gifted ensemble--actors,
directors, writers, technicians. We look forward to sharing our
new home with those we hope will be our audiences and partners
in the creative process. We are also pleased to have this opportunity
to say a public ‘thank you,’ in a small way, to all
of those who have helped to make this event possible. The town
officials, and many residents of Ossining and the surrounding area,
have publicly offered invaluable support throughout this long process.
By sharing our work and our theatre,
we recognize the people behind the scenes as we invite others in
the community to join us in our future creative endeavors.”
Town Supervisor John Chervokas will be recognized at the celebration.
