A neat series, Peter.  Thanks for sharing the fun with us...

But, your post begets two questions... 

Were you lot any good? 

and...

Did the Battle Green Players ever go on to form a "summer stock" group?

David.
 

(and it would really help if I included the URLs!)

While I was in high school, a group of us wrote, produced and performed
an original musical, "River Kids," based on Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer." I
had a supporting role (Rev. Thatcher).  I was did freelance work for the
town newspaper, so naturally I ended up writing and photographing a
feature article on the show.  The photos were shot with a Leica M2, 50mm
DR Summicron on Tri-X.

The article and photos appeared in my home town newspaper, the Lexington
(MA) Minute-Man in Nov. 1970.

One of my old friends just sent me scans of these newspaper clippings,
which were in a box of memorabilia from his parent's attic.

(this last one was originally a color shot which we used on a publicity
poster.  For the newspaper, I printed it on Panalure paper, which gave
reasonably correct B&W tones).

Sorry I've been a bit scarce lately.  I've been crazy-busy with musical
things.  Much of that will finish around the middle of the month, and I
might just pick up the camera again...
