Stephanie Rowe and Ira Emerson   Don Gray
 
Rotary speakers for Thursday, August 20, 2015 were from the Springfield Players executive board. Treasurer, Don Gray, gave a history which dates back to 1920. At that time, community theatre groups flourished with The Springfield Players now laying claim to the longest continuously operating amateur theatre group in VT. Specific details of the group’s ninety-five years can be found at this link http://www.springfieldcommunityplayers.org/ . Secretary, Stephanie Rowe, spoke about what brings people to the organization and the rewards it has to offer.  Ira  Emerson Jr. fielded questions from Rotarians and guests. Most noteworthy was the information about play selection and the current venue on South Street.
