To the Editor:
Regarding Lenore Humphrey’s letter to the editor (3/25) I appreciate her positive words about me. However, in all fairness to Mr. Noeding, he did leave a message for me at the Town Hall requesting a meeting.

Cinderella Performed At BCS

Berlin High School students mesmerized the audience March 19 and 20 with Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. From the time the Fairy Godmother (Emily Olson) opened the show until Cinderella (Caitlyn Hungerford) and the Prince (Rocco Farano) were joined in marriage, the audience members were attentive to the many songs, dances and the dashes of humor.
The costuming was amazing and, under the guidance of stylist Amy Reger, the hair styles were “from another time and place.” [Read more…] about Cinderella Performed At BCS
