October 2006: The Haunted Woods
The Hampstead Stage Company held it's first official 2006 fundraiser this October, The Haunted Woods, hosted at OSG Paintball Park. It was a great success. HSC's company of professional actors and actresses, as well as community volunteers and budding actors and actresses from the local high school participated in making this walk in the woods a frightful night for all that attended. This event was held for six nights and each night was scarier than the next. Thanks goes out to OSG Paintball for graciously letting us use their facilities for this fundraiser. We look forward to The Haunted Woods 2007 fundraiser to be even more entertaining and terrifying.

April 2006: Zach's Spirit
This past April, HSC in conjuction with the Barnstead Cub Scouts, held a fundraiser for Zach Couture, a 10 year old boy who has been dignosed with a life-threatening disorder called adrenoleukodystrophy. Zach is currently awaiting a stem cell transplant to stop the progression of his disorder. Unfortunately, the extremely high cost of the medical procedures required to save Zach's life are presenting a challenge. His family is asking for donations to help cover the medical expenses involved to ensure that Zachary receives the care he needs to successfully overcome this devastating disorder. The fundraiser included dinner at the Dell-Lea Country Club and a wonderful performance of Alice in Wonderland. All proceeds were donated directly to Zach. It was a great success and we are happy to report that Zach is improving daily. For more information, go to www.zachsspirit.com. Thanks go to Rhonda Gagnon for organizing this event.
