SUMMER WITH PENFIELD PLAYERS THEATER

Loot
by Joe Orton
Directed by Jerry Argetsinger

A dark farce, Loot follows the fortunes of two young thieves. Dennis works for an undertaker. Hal's old Mum has just died. They rob the bank next door to the funeral parlor and find just the place to hide the loot. With the money hidden in Mum's coffin, there's no place for Mum whose body keeps re-appearing at the most inopportune times. When Inspector Truscott turns up, the already thickened plot goes topsy-turvy.

FREE admission but donations are accepted.

Performance:
2:00pm Saturday, July 30, 2016

Welcome to the Penfield Business Chamber!

After much legal, technical and financial wrangling, our name change and merger with the former Penfield Chamber of Commerce is finally complete! Thank you to all who supported this change to better serve the Penfield business community. It was a long process (much longer than we anticipated) and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to long time PBC Member Brett Dawson of Dawson Law Firm. Brett's expertise was exceptionally valuable in helping us make this change properly to ensure maximum benefit to our members for the long term. We can't thank you enough for your knowledge and experience Brett! If your business needs premier expert legal advice, go see Brett and his team at Dawson Law Firm.

COMMITTEE VOLUNTEERS WANTED 

Are you looking for a way to give back to your business community? Consider joining one of our committees to help with one of many aspects of running your local business chamber.

The work of the PBC is accomplished through the dedication and hard work of committees formed to manage different projects throughout the year. As with all volunteer organizations, our success depends largely on the willingness of our membership to participate on these committees and make things happen. If you would like to volunteer to work on a specific committee that could benefit from your time and skill-set, contact us and we will connect you with the Committee Chair.

Check out the list of currently active committees, to see how your experience and expertise would fit in, on our website.
