About Barrington Stage Company:

Barrington Stage Company (BSC) is a not-for-profit professional theatre company with a three-fold mission: to produce top-notch, compelling work; to develop new plays and musicals; and to find fresh, bold ways of bringing new audiences into the theatre, especially young people.

Barrington Stage has produced several award-winning plays and musicals, beginning in its inaugural year with The Diary of Anne Frank, which won the Elliot Norton/Boston Theatre Critics Award. In its third year, BSC won two Elliot Norton/Boston Theatre Critics Awards and four Outer Critics Awards for its smash hit production of Cabaret, which moved to Boston and played an extended run at the Hasty Pudding Theatre. Several other BSC productions, including Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill, Mack and Mabel, South Pacific, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Follies, West Side Story, The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, Freud’s Last Session, Sweeney Todd, Guys and Dolls, Best of Enemies, On the Town, All My Sons, Breaking the Code and Dancing Lessons, have been named among the top 10 productions of the year in many area newspapers — leading The Boston Globe to laud BSC as “one of the jewels in the state’s crown.”

About Shakespeare & Co:
Launching its 34th season in the culturally-rich Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts in Lenox, Shakespeare & Company aspires to create a theatre of unprecedented excellence rooted in the classical ideals of inquiry, balance, and harmony; a company that performs as the Elizabethans did — in love with poetry, physical prowess, and the mysteries of the universe. With a core of over 150 artists, the company performs Shakespeare, generating opportunities for collaboration between actors, directors, and designers of all races, nationalities, and backgrounds. Shakespeare & Company provides original, in-depth, classical training and performance methods. The company also develops and produces new plays of social and political significance. Shakespeare & Company’s educational programs inspire a new generation of students and scholars to discover the resonance of Shakespeare’s truths in the everyday world, demonstrating the influence that classical theatre can have within a community. 

About the Seven Hills Inn:

The Seven Hills Inn, set on 27 acres of lush lawns and stunning gardens, is ideal for summer vacations, romantic getaways, destination weddings, family reunions and corporate events.

Enter a world furnished with antiques, hand carved fireplaces, leaded glass windows and eclectic art. This Gilded Age Mansion, located in the heart of the Berkshires, invites you to enjoy the romantic luxuries of a time long since passed.

Escape to the country, stroll down wooded lanes, bask in the sun, lounge at our pool, indulge in our hearty country breakfasts, watch leaves turn magnificent colors, snuggle up by our fireplace during the cooler months, enjoy the vistas from our expansive bluestone patio, picnic on Tanglewood’s lawn just across town, tour Edith Wharton’s estate, The Mount, right next door, gaze at star-crossed lovers at Shakespeare & Company, just down the road, wonder at dancers floating in air at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Theatre, just minutes away, marvel at the master’s works at the Norman Rockwell Museum, or spend a day with your feet up doing absolutely nothing.

Whatever the reason, whatever the season, we welcome you to the Berkshires and the Seven Hills Inn.
