BSCC's End of Summer Dance August 28 in Pittsfield



The Berkshire Stonewall Community Coalition is planning an end of summer dance for Saturday August 28, 2010 from 8:00-12:30. Providing the dance beats is favorite spinner, DJ BFG, Admission is $5 for members, $10 for non-members. But if you join or renew your membership in BSCC at the door, your admission will be free!

And here's a creative idea...Bill Nelson's All Male Revue is playing on Barrington Stage 2 over on Linden Street, so you could drop by the dance, have some fun, stroll over to BSC for the 10pm performance and get back for last call.

From the 2009 Version - Howie Michael Smith, Frank Galgano, Matt Castle, Claybourne Elder, Orville Mendoza, Bill Nelson
I saw this show last year, and it was about as out as you can get and yet be family friendly. (Nothing's naked but the lyrics.) It's the final night, so get your tickets early.

Bill Nelson's All Male Revue
One More Show Tonight

Bill Nelson
Orville Mendoza
Matt Castle
Frank Galgano
Claibourne Elder
Howie Michael Smith


Trust me, you don't want to miss this show at Barrington Stage and you only have one more chance, tonight, Saturday August 1 at Barrington Stage Company's little theatre, Stage 2 on Linden Street in Pittsfield.

ORVILLE

The title is suggestive
But our pants will stay zipped.
No thongs in this performance
Long as we don't leave the script.

CLAY
The lyrics will be naked, though—
Exposed, unguarded and true in

ALL

Bill Nelson's All Male Revue.
Bill Nelson's All Male Revue (woo hoo hoo hoo)
Bill Nelson's All Male Revue.

HOWIE
Sit back and soak us in.
Enjoy the all-male view. (CLAY: You know you do!)

(Lyrics by Bill Nelson from the show's witty opening number)

Bill Nelson's All-Male Revue has lyrics by Bill Nelson and most of them have a gay twist. The music is by a variety of composers. But don't take my word for it. To get a sense of what we are talking about here, here are a couple of You Tube clips.

Rob Broadhurst performs "Who Wouldn't Want A Kid Like That?" in State of the Union. Music by Dimitri Landrain, Lyrics by Bill Nelson. Directed by Daniel Fischer. Part of The Spotlight Cabaret series.

Wesley Taylor sings "Would I Do Bill Nelson (If Bill Nelson Weren't Me?" (music by Julia Meinwald, lyrics by Bill Nelson) as part of THE OH, SO SEXY SONG'S OF BILL NELSON at NYTB

The final performance takes place tonight, Saturday, at 8:00 at the BSC's Stage 2 which is at 36 Linden Street (one block from North Street) in Pittsfield. All seats are: $15 (general admission) and can be reserved by calling 413.236.888. Or visit the Barrington Stage website.
