We have a few video tapes of shows that were done during our first seasons in the barn. In this space each week we will show you a moment from one of these shows! Enjoy!!

On July 16, 1988, on the closing night of Brigadoon, the Board of Directors and the cast applauded Ann Cooper [Swanson]. Ann [center] had served many years on the Board and had played in the pit for many shows in her nineteen years with PCPH. Ann had wanted to do Brigadoonfor many seasons. This was her last show with us [to date!] as she was moving to Missouri. Jim Poor [left] gave a short speech after the curtain call, and Ann was presented with a brass music stand, a bouquet of flowers, and our best wishes! Also pictured at right is cast member Steve Robles.
