www.berkshiretheatregroup.org |3“It’s a musical theater production like no other, in a summer season
like no other. Although the pandemic has taken a brutal toll --
darkening Broadway and canceling regional shows from coast to
coast, the Berkshire Theatre Group’s gutsy production of “Godspell”
in Massachusetts has a unique distinction: It is the only musical in
the United States approved by Actors’ Equity, the union representing
51,000 actors and stage managers.”

4 | (413) 997-4444Welcome to our Theatre!
Dear Friends,
Welcome to our Theatre! I say our Theatre with purpose. You,
our audience, are integral to what is Berkshire Theatre Group.
Last year, for seven weeks and against all odds, we presented,
under the Big Tent in Pittsfield, a historic production of Godspell.
Our efforts began in June with drive-in movie experiences
for families. They continued with musical events featuring
eclectic talent and an amazing lineup of singers, musicians,
dancers, virtual programming and classes. In December, at
our Stockbridge campus, we kept going with a beautiful and
heartfelt live production of Truman Capote’s Holiday Memories.
Throughout, our priority was to keep everyone safe in the
midst of a global pandemic and innumerable crises. We held
our vision close, which is to be a center for artistic work that
enriches, educates, invigorates, transforms, and strengthens our
community. We take our responsibility to provide opportunities
for growth, inclusion, equity and diversity seriously. We are
fortunate to work in the arts, where minds must always be open
in order to more fully understand and speak to the universality
of human nature. The ground we walk on has been shifted
forever. At Berkshire Theatre Group, we hope we will be part of
a growing consciousness in which we may strengthen ourselves
and contribute to a brighter future for our dear world.
Thank you for being with us for this performance. Please know
that we will be here for you throughout the year to lift spirits and
open exciting doorways of creativity. Enjoy and come back!!
With warmth and care,

“This Godspell is deeply affecting. Mr. Filderman and company are speaking to contemporary
fears bred by isolation and inaction. When the cast members, most of whom embody a
multitude of roles, sang I found my mandatory face mask was often wet with tears.”

Oscar Wilde (Playwright) Author, playwright and poet Oscar
Wilde, born October 16, 1854 in Dublin, Ireland, was a popular
literary figure in late Victorian England. After graduating from Oxford
University, he lectured as a poet, art critic and a leading proponent
of the principles of aestheticism. In 1891, he published The Picture
of Dorian Gray, his only novel which was panned as immoral by
Victorian critics, but is now considered one of his most notable
works. As a dramatist, many of Wilde’s plays were well received including his
satirical comedies: Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance
(1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), his
most famous play. Unconventional in his writing and life, Wilde’s affair with a young
man led to his arrest on charges of “gross indecency” in 1895. He was imprisoned
for two years and died in poverty at the age of 46 on November 30, 1900, just three
years after his release.
David Auburn (Director) is a playwright, screenwriter and director.
Plays include: The Adventures of Augie March (based on the Saul
Bellow novel), Lost Lake, The Columnist and Proof (2001 Pulitzer
Prize, Tony Award, New York Drama Critics Circle Award). Film
work includes: The Girl in the Park (writer/director), Georgetown,
and The Lake House. Stage directing credits include:
Long Day’s Journey into Night (Court Theatre, Chicago);
The Skin of Our Teeth, The Petrified Forest, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Anna Christie,
A Delicate Balance, Period of Adjustment, Sick (all BTG); and the Off Broadway

Fellow, he lives in New York City. He/him.

“Everyone in the theater world is watching.What
we have is a small production, of a 50 year old
musical, under a tent, in a rural corner of western
Massachusetts. But I think it’s meaningful. It’s
a group of actors. It’s a theater. Showing us a
way to make art, to see art — for now. And it’s
succeeding.”
-Michael Paulson, The New York Times
“There is a glimmer of hope in Pittsfield
Massachusetts, home to the country’s first
musical allowed to resume production during
the pandemic. All eyes are on Berkshire Theatre
Group’s revival of GODSPELL — which could set
the scene for the theatre of the future. ”
