Berkshire Theatre Festival
Berkshire Theatre Festival (Stockbridge, Massachusetts). A summer theatre whose reputation for superb revivals is widespread, it started in 1928 as the Three Arts Society, which performed in a Stanford White–designed building in the Berkshire Mountains. The group adopted its present name in 1967 and continues to present classics and new works in its 816‐seat Mainstage and its 122‐seat Unicorn Theatre. The company claims to be the third‐oldest theatre in the nation.
