Final Play Reading of the Season


Our last play reading for this season will take place on Monday, May 27 at 7:00 pm at the Theatre. The Country House by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Donald Margulies is a drama/comedy. Gathering in their Berkshire home during the Williamstown summer theatre season, a family of actors wrestle with fame, art and each other. But when the events of the weekend go off-script, secrets are spilled and bonds are broken.


Join us for a fun evening of reading or listening. Hope to see you there!
