Life Science: BPL’s First Ever Fully-Staged Workshop Production

Berkshire Playwrights Lab is thrilled to present its first full workshop production, Anna Ziegler’s Life Science, from June 19 – June 30, 2013. Life Science examines the lives of four high school seniors living in the plush Washington, DC suburbs. Over the course of several months, the students make out, break up, discuss their plans for the future, and debate the role that being Jewish plays in their budding sense of themselves.

Performances run June 19 through June 30, Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm, with the exception of the Saturday, June 22 performance, which will begin at 9:30pm, at Bard College at Simon’s Rock Daniel Arts Center.

Annual Staged Reading Series

Each summer, the Berkshire Playwrights Lab stages readings of new work by both upcoming and established playwrights, providing them with a supportive environment to collaborate with a director and professional actors, and offering the Berkshire audience with a low-cost opportunity to share in the evolution of quality dramatic works and to experience first-hand the magic of the creative process.

This year, our reading series will take place on Wednesdays July 10, July 24, August 7, and August 21, at 7:30 at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center
