Opening Night is July 5 at 8pm. Preview performances begin on June 30 at 8pm and the production closes July 19 at 8pm. Tickets to A Little Night Music are $25-$65, all preview tickets are $50. Tickets may be purchased in person at the Colonial Ticket Office at 111 South Street, Pittsfield; at the Fitzpatrick Main Stage Ticket Office at 83 East Main Street, Stockbridge; by calling (413) 997-4444 or online at www.BerkshireTheatreGroup.org. All plays, schedules, casting and prices are subject to change. “The people in A Little Night Music swell and swoon with love,” director Ethan Heard said. “They yearn to be desired, and they act like fools in a midsummer night’s dream, falling over themselves in pursuit of their romantic goals. Sondheim and Wheeler capture these passionate exploits with wit, humor, and heartbreaking humanity. This is a romantic comedy with bite, or, as Harold Prince described it, ‘whipped cream with knives.’” A Little Night Music offers an amusing and farcical tale of unexpected liaisons, relentless desire, and ill-fated heartbreak in the life of acclaimed actress, Desiree Armfeldt, played by renowned actress, vocalist and Berkshire native, Maureen O’Flynn with a career spanning more than 28 years in singing lead soprano roles at major opera houses including: The Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, and Vienna Staatsoper. She is also a returning actress to BTG having last performed in the much acclaimed, My Fair Lady in 2001. "I am thrilled to be working again with Berkshire Theatre Group, most especially in this fabulous role in one of the best musical theatre pieces ever written,” Maureen O’Flynn said. “The only thing I love more than being on stage, is being on stage at home, so I am doubly blessed." One eventful weekend, Desiree, her former beau and his wife, and Desiree’s current lover and his wife all arrive at a Swedish country estate. Long-held passions are soon rekindled in this classic waltz of a musical directed by Ethan Heard (who also directed BTG’s 2013 hit murder mystery, The Cat and The Canary) and also features Tony Award Nominated Kate Baldwin, Gregg Edelman, Penny Fuller and Broadway and television actor, Graham Rowat. Featuring Sondheim’s notable show tune, “Send in the Clowns,” A Little Night Music celebrates love and all the foolhardy particulars it entails. “Our production explores the ecstasy and agony of being in love at all ages,” Ethan Heard explains. “Whether you are 70, 40, 18, or 13, romantic and erotic love holds sway over us. Although our story is set in turn-of-the- century Sweden, it might as well be taking place in twenty-first century Massachusetts. The trysts, jealousies, doubts, regrets, conquests, and cravings are all delightfully and devastatingly familiar to us here and now.” A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim book by Hugh Wheeler orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick suggested by a film by Ingmar Bergman originally produced and directed on Broadway by Harold Prince directed by Ethan Heard music direction by Nathan Dame choreography by Alex Sanchez featuring Kate Baldwin, Gregg Edelman, Penny Fuller, Maureen O’Flynn, and Graham Rowat at The Colonial Theatre, Pittsfield Previews June 30-July 4 Press Opening/Opening Night: July 5 at 8pm Talkback: July 7 Closing: July 19 Tickets: Preview: $50 Tickets: A: $65 B: $45 C: $25 Sponsored by Greylock Federal Credit Union and Greylock Insurance Agency Performance Dates Monday, June 30 at 8pm (Preview) Tuesday, July 1 at 8pm (Preview) Thursday, July 3 at 8pm (Preview) Friday, July 4 at 8pm (Preview) Saturday, July 5 at 8pm (Opening Night) Sunday, July 6 at 2pm Monday, July 7 at 8pm (Talk Back) Tuesday, July 8 at 8pm Thursday, July 10 at 8pm Friday, July 11 at 8pm Saturday, July 12 at 2pm & 8pm Sunday, July 13 at 2pm Monday, July 14 at 8pm Tuesday, July 15 at 8pm Thursday, July 17 at 2pm & 8pm Friday, July 18 at 8pm Saturday, July 19 at 2pm & 8pm (Closing) Artistic Bios Ethan Heard (Director, A Little Night Music) is thrilled to return to Berkshire Theatre Group after directing John Willard's The Cat and the Canary at the Unicorn last summer.

  • We Finally See Rockwell, Williams in FX's First 'Fosse/Verdon' Trailer
    We Finally See Rockwell, Williams in FX's First 'Fosse/Verdon' Trailer 02.25.2019 FX's upcoming eight-episode limited series, Fosse/Verdon, unpacks the turbulent five-decade relationship of legendary Hollywood director and choreographer, Bob Fosse (Sam Rockwell), and his wife, muse and star in her own right, Gwen Verdon (Michelle Williams). Their relationship starts as a director-star cliche and then evolves into something much more complicated as Fosse fuels his manic creativity with drugs, alcohol and sex. Verdon, meanwhile, reaches the height of her career as a Broadway triple threat and multiple Tony winner but watches Fosse stay in the spotlight as she fades into age and obscurity. Still, she remains his unrecognized collaborator even as their marriage unravels. Eventually, Fosse forges a connection with Ann Reinking (Margaret Qualley), an up-and-coming Broadway dancer who has all the talent and tenacity of a young Verdon. She hopes to follow in Verdon's footsteps, but may not have the stomach to put up with everything Fosse demands. Surrounding the couple are a coterie of fellow artists, friends, collaborators, and rivals: playwright and screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky (Norbert Leo Butz); former modern dancer- turned-homemaker Joan Simon (Aya Cash); Joan's husband, playwright Neil Simon (Nate Corddry); and theater producer and director Hal Prince (Evan Handler). The series is executive produced by Rockwell, Williams, Thomas Kail, Steven Levenson, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Joel Fields and George Stelzner. Levenson wrote the premiere episode, which is directed by Kail. Nicole Fosse, daughter of the couple, serves as key creative consultant, co-executive producer and keeper of the Verdon Fosse legacy.

In opera, music is the primary element, supported by the set and costumes. The set and costumes provide a visual interpretation of the music. In film, music and sound play a supporting role. Music and sound create an ambiance in films that aid in telling the story. I consider the musical to be an equal and reciprocal balance of music and vision. More importantly, a successful musical is defined by its plot, music, and visual elements, and how well they are integrated. Observing the transformation of the musical and analyzing many different genres of concert music, I realize that each new concept of transformation always blends traditional and contemporary elements, no matter how advanced the concept is or was at the time. Through my analysis of three musicals, I shed more light on where this ii transformation may be heading and what tradition may be replaced by a new concept, and vice versa.

My contribution is to take the character -- created by the playwright and acted out by the actor -- and reinvent it for the reader.” Al Hirschfeld in The World of Hirschfeld, 1970 Al Hirschfeld was born in St. Louis in 1903 but his family moved to New York City in 1914 where he would remain for most of the next 90 years. Always the artist making drawings, prints and paintings, Hirschfeld completed artwork for more than twenty publications including The Herald Tribune, The New Yorker, The Los Angeles Times, Business Week, Playbill, TV Guide, Town & Country, Playboy, People, Collier’s, Life, Time, Look, Rolling Stone, and Reader’s Digest. In 1943 Hirschfeld married Dolly Haas who was a well-known European actress he met when on assignment to draw a sketch of a summer theater company. The two were married for just over 50 years and had one daughter, the famous Nina. Finding her name hidden in his drawings became an obsession for some of his fans. Less well known is that his wife Dolly occasionally appeared in the background of his drawings. Al Hirschfeld became the first artist in history to have his name on a U.S.
