About the

Berkshire Playwrights Lab

The Berkshire Playwrights Lab, a new theater company in the Berkshires, will be presenting a series of staged readings of new plays, by emerging and established playwrights, this summer at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. The Berkshire Playwrights Lab is the artistic collaboration of founders Joe Cacaci, Jim Frangione, and Bob Jaffe, all established theater professionals, and Managing Director, Claudia Crane.

Audiences will see and hear exciting new plays performed and staged, script in hand, by a talented cast of New York professionals. The actors, author, and director will rehearse in the beautiful Berkshires for three days, culminating in a full exploration of the text that will bring the writer's words to life onstage.

Berkshire Playwrights Lab performances are scheduled for
8:00 pm Wednesday June 25, July 16, July 30, August 13, and August 27.

The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center is located at 14 Castle Street, Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

The Berkshire Playwrights Lab 2008 Season is sponsored in part by the Egremont Inn, South Egremont, Massachusetts.
