Erin McKenna and Bret Chizever sing “You’re the Top” from “Anything Goes” during the Teeny Awards press conference.

The 2010 Teeny Awards, an innovative theater recognition program created by the East End Arts Council for area teens styled after Broadway’s Tony Awards, is under way. Theater troops from 15 high schools are competing for red carpet treatment at a gala awards ceremony in June.

This year, the gala awards ceremony will take place at Riverhead High School. For many years, the gala awards ceremony took place at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center. In order to accommodate more attendees, the ceremony will move into host high school auditoriums. This year, it will be at the Charles Cardona Auditorium of Riverhead High School.

The North Fork Ospreys college baseball team needs host families for the upcoming 2010 season.

Hosting an Osprey can be a very exciting and rewarding experience. It gives players a “home” environment even though they may be miles from their families. It is also a great way for fans to connect with players and become a part of the team. There is no monetary cost to house a player and transportation is not required. Host families are asked to provide bed/bath and laundry facilities.

Players are in good standing with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and have been coach-recommended to play for the Ospreys, a member of the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League.

Anyone interested in hosting a player or serving as an Osprey volunteer/intern should contact Joe Finora at: 631-680-7870 / jfinora@optonline.net.
