Have you read a good script lately?

Check out the over 100 scripts that have been donated by the Pinckney Players to the Hamburg Library for you to read and enjoy.  Treat yourself and imagine the possibilities!

 

 

This is a nice note which board member Joann Kuschel  received from the Hamburg Township Library.

 

Dear Joann,

 

We have completed the cataloging and processing of the wonderful donation you (& the Pinckney Players) gave us.  We have all the plays cataloged under the same call number (812) so that they stay together as a set...  If you want to check out the catalog records, you can go to the library's website (www.hamburglibrary.org), on the right side of the screen is Search Our Catalog button.  You can search under Pinckney Players as a keyword and all the titles will appear. 

Again, thank you very much for thinking of us.  The entire Hamburg/Pinckney community will enjoy having access to these plays.  Your donation is very much appreciated.

 

Warmest regards,

 

Holly Hentz

Director

Hamburg Township Library

Jane Tasch - The Woman and the Story of Our Stage

Jane Tasch was an educator for 30 years in the Pinckney area.  She loved the arts, and she was the driving force behind getting theatre started in the area. The first community play performed in the Jane Tasch Performing Arts Center was her own, "So Melts the Ice."  The play was based on a book written by Billie Swarthout. It depicted the history of the ice harvest of the early 1900's in the Lakeland area.  Jane Tasch dedicated the show to the book’s author, and it was performed  on December 4 and 5, 1981 on the  elegant new stage of the Jane Tasch Performing Arts Center.

 The Jane Tasch Performing Arts Center was built in 1980 using school bond funds.  The theatre has capacity to seat 900 patrons, with 600 on the main floor and 300 in the balcony.  The community education complex was constructed along with the gym and pool at the same time.

 The Pinckney Players appreciate the beautiful theatre and the path that Jane Tasch paved.  At the close of every show, we silently leave a single flower on the empty stage to thank Jane Tasch for the Theatre.
