PERFORMANCES

Shakespeare & Company continues its 47th season with Shake It Up: A Shakespeare Cabaret at the Tina Packer Playhouse from Tuesday, July 2 through Sunday, July 7.

A celebration of Shakespeare-influenced music, text, and storytelling for those both new to or familiar with Shakespeare, this devised production was co-created by Jacob Ming-Trent and Shakespeare & Company’s Artistic Director Allyn Burrows. It transforms the playhouse into an upscale club, complete with cafe tables, signature cocktails, and chandeliers. Ming-Trent features as both an actor and musician in Shake It Up, while Burrows directs. 

“Shakespeare was the original rock and roller,” said Burrows. “Or if he wasn't, his friends certainly were. Just as music washes over the landscape, Shakespeare's poetry permeates our lives in ways we may not even be aware of. 

“Mashing Shakespeare's words and songs that they influenced can create an alchemy worth exploring,” he continued, “and stir up a lot of fun in the process.”

Sponsored by Steve and Cathy Bader, five performances of Shake It Up: A Shakespeare Cabaret will be staged; 7 p.m. performances will be held on Tuesday, July 2; Wednesday, July 3, and Saturday, July 6, with matinee performances on Thursday, July 4 at 3:30 p.m., and Sunday, July 7 at 1 p.m. 

Tickets are $50, and seating is general admission, and tickets are $50. 

For more information, visit shakespeare.org, or call the Box Office at (413) 637-3353.

Chester Theatre Company presents Unreconciled (World Premiere)

July 4–14 

Written by Jay Sefton and Mark Basquill

Directed by James Barry

Unreconciled is the true story of an adolescent actor cast as Jesus in a play directed by a pedophile priest. The play chronicles a survivor’s journey as he confronts his past and discovers the courage to use his voice and redefine what reconciliation means. Jay Sefton’s virtuosic solo performance is an unflinching quest for justice, brimming with heart, humor, and compassion.

New play fest at The LAVA Center continues with staged readings of new plays by Beth Filson and Steve Poulin on Friday and Saturday, July 12 and 13

WHAT: On the Boards ’24: a festival of new play readings by (mostly) local playwrights: The Moon Over Us by Beth Filson and Cancer Mom by Steve Poulin

WHEN: Friday and Saturday, July 12 and 13, 7 p.m.

WHERE: The LAVA Center, 324 Main St., Greenfield

MORE DETAILS: https://thelavacenter.org/on-the-boards/ 

TICKETS: https://www.tixtree.com/o/lava 

The LAVA Center is proud to present our second annual festival of new play readings by (mostly) local playwrights, “On the Boards ’24,” which continues Friday and Saturday, July 12 and 13, 7 p.m. with staged readings by Beth Filson and Steve Poulin.

The Moon Over Us was written and directed by Beth Filson and performed by Katie Gobreski, Kim Salditt-Poulin, Will Quale, Chip Roughton, Jane Barish, Peter Ludwig and Elizabeth LaPrade

This is a play about traumatic memory: how the past is ever present, and how the present can’t help but change the remembered past. What if the you from your past, and the you you are right now carried on a conversation about experienced events. Is there one truth about what happened—or does an entirely new truth emerge?

Trigger Warning: sexual assault. Scenes from this play may be difficult for some audience members. As this is a work in progress, audience members may not get to see resolution of these events.

Beth Filson is an award winning poet and writer, as well as a self-taught artist. Her solo performance, Telling the Story/Untelling the Diagnosis, was produced last year by Pauline Productions. Beth uses autobiographical material to explore the healing power of connection through the listener-storyteller relationship. Beth also works in the field of trauma-informed care; she has published extensively in her field. She is truly grateful for the opportunities The LAVA Center has created for new and emerging playwrights.

Cancer Mom was written by Steve Poulin, directed by Tracy Grammer and performed by Phoebe Hazzard, Chip Roughton, Katie Grobeski, Alison Blakeslee, Clara Witty, Kimberly Salditt-Poulin and Aria Killough-Miller.

Cancer Mom asks a difficult but elemental question: Can you lie your way to the truth? Jen, the protagonist, becomes obsessed with the secret life her husband Brian leads as he carries on an affair. She constructs her own secret life in response. Becoming a cancer patient, and then a survivor, results in the end of her husband’s affair, and Jen becomes a hero in her daughter Isabelle’s eyes. Her life complete and whole again, Jen is ready to move on, until Isabelle and her college roommate Jade arrive home for a Thanksgiving feast like no other.

Steve Poulin (Playwright), a western Mass native, journeyed from Boston to Seattle to San Francisco before finding his way home again. He’s picked up a few college degrees and taught English along the way, and now finds himself married to an actor. Through this relationship (and the running of countless lines) he has discovered the magic of the stage, writing a series of one-act plays during the pandemic that were produced at Greenfield Community College. “Cancer Mom” is his first full-length production and he is thrilled to bring it to LAVA and the community under the guidance of Tracy Grammer and an amazing cast. None of this would have even been close to possible without the generosity and support of Jan and Vanessa at LAVA.

Tracy Grammer (Director) is a theater artist, writer, and musician based in Greenfield, Mass. A lifelong performer, she has studied theater arts at Shakespeare & Co., HB Studios NY, and GCC, and has served in numerous theater and film productions around the Commonwealth, either as an actor or assistant director. Grammer brings a spirit of possibility, expansion, and play to her work, as well as rigorous attention to uncovering the nuances of the text. She is honored to be partnering with Steve Poulin and this sensitive, insightful cast to bring “Cancer Mom” to the LAVA stage. tracygrammer.com

Admission is on a sliding scale of $5–20 ($1–2 for Card to Culture participants). July plays will also be viewable online for one month each, with closed captioning. Tickets for both in person and online are available at https://www.tixtree.com/o/lava.

The schedule for the rest of the festival:

Friday–Saturday, July 19–20, 7 p.m. — staged readings:

Man and his Shadow, written and directed by Silvia

Modern Times, written and directed by P.H. Crosby

American Stink Bug, written by Jean Minuchin and directed by Bri Boehm

Friday–Saturday, July 26–27, 7 p.m. — staged reading:

Inheritance, written and directed by Nina Gross

On the Boards ’24 is made possible by grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the local cultural councils of Amherst, Bernardston, Buckland, Conway, Deerfield, Gill, Greenfield, Leyden, Northfield and Shelburne.

January 6 Productions
“January 6: the Sex Strike”

January 6 Productions is seeking actress 35-55 to portray “Liz Cheney” in “January 6: the Sex Strike”, a wild satirical comedy. 

In Aristophanes’ “Lysistrata”, written 2,500 years ago, the women of Athens begin a sex strike against their warrior-men demanding the end of the 27 year war against Sparta. The Peloponnesian War ended shortly thereafter. What would happen if the Women of America started their own sex strike to end our War on Democracy? Will the unlikely alliance of Liz Cheney, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ruth Bader Ginsburg prevail against the likes of Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani? This show is risqué. 

Auditions now by appointment in Northampton, rehearsals in August in Southampton and performances in September in Greenfield. Stipend: $200

The Valley Players has announced that their first production will be Nick Payne’s award-winning play Constellations. Open auditions for the eight-person cast will be held in August and the show goes up in October at the Munson Memorial Library in Amherst. Anyone who wants to find out more about the auditions or the production can sign up for the Valley Players email list at www.valleyplayers.org.

Constellations is a spellbinding romantic journey that begins with a simple encounter between two people but then defies the boundaries of the universe we think we know by delving into the infinite possibilities of their connection. Branching out across multiple timelines, the play asks questions about destiny and chance, about love and death, and about how the relationship between two people might change if they changed even just a single word or decision.

The New York Times describes Payne’s play as “the most sophisticated date play Broadway has seen” and “supremely articulate.” “This story of parallel universes is universal in every sense of the word,” the Times concludes. “Smart” and “superb,” raves The Guardian, and Variety calls it “sweet and strangely haunting.” “A singular astonishment,” praises The New Yorker, “at once eloquent and mysterious …a wholly satisfying and complete emotional journey…The well-judged dialogue, at once terse and trenchant, finds its own characteristic poetry.”

The Valley Players is currently seeking a production team for the show, including a stage manager/technical director, assistant stage manager, assistant director, costumer, lighting designer, and house manager. Anyone interested in finding out more about these positions or in volunteering for one can contact the group at info@valleyplayers.org.

All contributions are tax-deductible and go fully to support the organization’s mission and programming. Anyone who wants to donate or become a business sponsor can do so at www.valleyplayers.org.

The mission of the Valley Players is to enrich the quality of life in the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts by producing nimble, meaningful, and accessible community theater.

Shakespeare & Company’s Center for Actor Training will host its 9-Day Intensive at its Lenox campus from Thursday, August 22 through Saturday, August 31. 

Designed for mid-career actors, educators, directors, and others seeking professional and artistic development, the 9-Day Intensive is inspired by Shakespeare & Company’s Month-long Intensive. Director of Training Sheila Bandyopadhyay said the workshop offers participants an opportunity to immerse themselves in Shakespeare training and make connections with like-minded artists in a robust, accessible format. 

“We regularly hear from artists in the mid-stages of their career that they wish they could attend our renowned Month-long Intensive in the winter, but their schedules simply do not permit them to do so,” said Bandyopadhyay. “For those out there who are juggling teaching, acting, directing, parenting responsibilities, and the like, the 9-Day Intensive is ideal.”

The daily schedule includes classes in Linklater Voice, Movement, monologue and scene work, and the format and tuition include admission to three Shakespeare & Company shows staged at the height of its 2024 performance season. 

Tuition is $1,495 with partial scholarships available for BIPOC artists. Early payment, alumni, and union member discounts are also available. Limited on-campus housing is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

For more information or to apply, visit shakespeare.org or call 413.637.1199, ext. 114.
