Shakespeare & Co. has always been one of my favorite places in The Berkshires. Their productions and education programs are outstanding. I am very disappointed that their Rose Theatre Project seems to have been abandoned. That was a true tragedy. But as a theatre, Tina Packer & Co. have done fine work, consistently. Of all I have witnessed, there are... More

It is their objective. In addition, there are lots... More

Whether it's Shakespeare or Moliere or a contemporary work, the productions at Shakespeare & Co. are a treat. We are lucky enough to live within an hour's drive of the theater and attending performances there 4 or 5 times each summer is one of our favorite activities. Even though it was just the end of February, the day tickets went... More

We try to include a performance of a Shakespeare play at the excellent reperatory company every time we are in Lenox. The cast is always professional and we have yet to be disappointed. Besides excellent theater performances this company provides excellent training for college students with a career goal in theater. You can count on a good show at reasonable... More

Small, quaint venue. Building has an interesting exterior that needs a facelift. But, interior is nice and service was very good. Great, up-close place to see an entertaining play

I saw a play in a small theatre (cannot remember the name). My ticket was $25 which was a bargain, and I loved the play.

It's not just Shakespeare! All the venues are great! We really enjoyed the plays at the Bernstein Theater this summer as well as those at the Founder's Theater. Wonderful place and so professional.

This play--performed by just 4 actors in MULTIPLE roles--was okay. We saw this on Broadway and while it's unfair to compare, this show is too involved to put it in what looked like a high school band rehearsal room. The room is too tight to really permit the actors to perform. There were some weak points in this show; but... More
