Enjoyed profile of Amenia’s Edgewood
I thoroughly enjoyed your article on Amenia’s late Edgewood Restaurant; especially since it brought back memories of another long-gone venue on the road to Sharon.
It was the Brookside and during the Sharon Playhouse’s annual season it served as sort of a green room for the actors, apprentices and audience members after the Playhouse’ curtain fell.
During those years of the nineteen fifties the Playhouse was staffed by actors who were in repertory. Every week in July and August they appeared all sorts of comedies showing great versatility in the roles they portrayed.
In addition, they gladly interacted with the rest of the Company, including the nightly fun at the Brookside with some getting up on the small Brookside to do a song or two.
In 1960 I worked full-time in the Playhouse’s box office and was warmly welcomed as a member of the “Family.”
Oh, and I often dined at the Edgewood!
