EDITOR’S NOTE

Celebrate a summer of milestones with us This summer, when you visit a cultural institution in the Berkshires, you’d be safe to say a blanket — yet heartfelt — “Happy Anniversary.” It feels like everyone is celebrating an anniversary of some kind this summer, so many that we could only highlight a few of the big ones in the coming pages of our annual roundup of summer happenings. For every big 50th anniversary celebration that we could mention — the Norman Rockwell Museum, Chesterwood, The Albany Berkshire Ballet — there are others worth a celebratory nod. This summer, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art will joyfully kick off its 20th season while The Red Lion Inn welcomes guests to its famous porch for its 50th season as a Main Street mainstay. Barrington Stage Company is 25 years young, rocking downtown Pittsﬁeld stages with a season full of new productions, cabarets and revised favorites. This summer, Williamstown Theatre Festival gives a nod to Lorraine Hansberry’s masterpiece “A Raisin in the Sun,” marking its 60th anniversary since the play ﬁrst opened on Broadway. And let’s not forget WAM Theatre, celebrating its 10th anniversary season this summer. At Jacob’s Pillow, dancers will

honor the 50th anniversary of Dance Theatre of Harlem. In the music world, the Cantilena Chamber Choir will sing for its 15th season this summer. And the Berkshire Hills Chorus, a women's a cappella barbershop-style singing group, is also celebrating 50 years. And, the oldest of us all, Pittsfield’s own Herman Melville turns a young 200, with a summer of whalesize celebrations at Arrowhead. Whew! I told you it’s a lot. But don’t worry, we’ve got the entire summer mapped out for you in the coming pages, so you don’t have to miss a single event. Having so many anniversaries to mention in one summer speaks volumes to the lasting-power of arts and culture in the Berkshires. It’s because of readers like you who support the work of our many outstanding institutions — and therefore, the work we do in the features department to highlight these places— that we have so much to celebrate this summer. Now, if only I could remember what to give someone on their 50th anniversary? Oh yes, gold. Let’s hope for golden sunshine and warm nights filled with music, dance, fireworks and laughter.

NORMAN ROCKWELL MUSEUM

Rockwell marks 50 years with three major exhibits BY BENJAMIN CASSIDY The Berkshire Eagle STOCKBRIDGE — Globally, 1969 might be best remembered as the year of the ﬁrst moon landing and Woodstock, but in the Berkshires, 1969 has another signiﬁcance: It was the year Norman Rockwell lent some of his paintings to the Old Corner House on Stockbridge's Main Street. Though the then-recently salvaged building was intended to host the Stockbridge Historical Society, word spread of Rockwell's work being on display, and it soon became known as a home for the iconic illustrator's work. "In some ways, I think we are an improbable museum because the way we began was with an intention of saving an old building, not with becoming the Norman Rockwell Museum," said Laurie Norton Moffatt, the museum's director and CEO. "So, the story of the 50th is really fun because it's about love of community, preservation of the community, both its architecture and its people coming together." Located at a site along Route

Left: "Woodstock to the Moon: 1969 Illustrated," will feature more than 40 artists documenting the famous year. Right: One of this summers exhibits, "Inspired: Rockwell and Erik Erikson," focuses on Rockwell's relationship to Austen Riggs Center developmental psychoanalyst Erik Erikson.

183 for the past quarter-century, the Stockbridge institution is celebrating its 50th anniversary this summer with three major exhibitions. "Norman Rockwell: Private Moments for the Masses," "Inspired: Rockwell and Erik Erikson" and "Woodstock to the Moon: 1969 Illustrated" all open June 8 and will remain on view through Oct. 27. The Old Corner House is also the subject of a smaller show at the museum, a space that persisted despite the art world's negativity toward Rockwell's work in the middle of the 20th century. "It is a museum that absolutely grew by public affection and public demand," Moffatt said. For those unfamiliar with

Rockwell's biography, "Norman Rockwell: Private Moments for the Masses" will prove useful. The exhibit corresponds with the re-release of Rockwell's 1960 autobiography, "My Adventures as an Illustrator," so deputy director and chief curator Stephanie Plunkett selected pieces, including his 1960 "Triple Self-Portrait," that demonstrate how the artist reﬂected himself in his work. "Whether it had to do with a world view or something that happened within his family or even projecting a kind of life that he would like to have, all of those things really occurred on Rockwell's canvases," Plunkett said. "Inspired: Rockwell and

Erik Erikson" focuses on Rockwell's relationship to Austen Riggs Center developmental psychoanalyst Erik Erikson through pieces by both men. After his wife, Mary, entered treatment at the Stockbridge psychiatric institute in the early 1950s, Rockwell realized that he could beneﬁt from visiting a therapist there, too. He saw Erikson, the man behind the eight stages of psychosocial development and the term "identity crisis." Their relationship was reciprocal. "The goal of the exhibition, and what I really found to be interesting, is that the two really inspired each other," said Plunkett, who curated the show with the Austen Riggs Center, now in its 100th year.

The third exhibit, "Woodstock to the Moon: 1969 Illustrated," features more than 40 artists documenting the famous year, including Chesterﬁeld resident Arnold Skolnick. His original Woodstock poster will be on display in an exhibit curated by Jesse Kowalski. "It was such a fertile period, both a fun period, a fraught period, a formative period," Moffatt said, "and we wanted to look at it through the lens of the illustrated material that documented and brought it to life."

ALBANY BERKSHIRE BALLET

Albany Berkshire Ballet celebrates 50 years of dance BY JENNIFER HUBERDEAU The Berkshire Eagle

It was in a second-floor dance studio housed above a Planter Peanuts store on North Street, that the Berkshire Ballet Guild formed as an offshoot of the Canterella School of Dance and the beginnings of the Albany Berkshire Ballet would begin to take shape. It was there, under the artistic direction of Madeline Cantarella Culpo, that the guild evolved into the Berkshire Civic Ballet, which officially established itself as a performing dance company and 501 nonprofit in 1969. Over the next few decades, the company would be known as the Berkshire Ballet and finally, the Albany Berkshire Ballet. "We're going to be doing some incredible things," said Joe Durwin, director of communications and partnerships, during the company's season announcement in March. "This is the 50thanniversary season as a professional non-profit ballet company. We'll be celebrating that in a number of ways, primarily through dance. We'll be performing over the next nine months on over a dozen stages in half-a-dozen cities across three states." Those performances will include the return of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," a full-length production of the Shakespearean comedy. The company last performed the work in 2008.

Deirdre Duffin performs in the Albany Berkshire Ballet’s 1987 production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” “We’re very excited to be mounting ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ the ﬁrst full-length production, other than ‘The Nutcracker,’ that the ballet has done. In its history, the ballet was famous for its full-length productions, really receiving critical acclaim from The New York Times, The Boston Globe and throughout New England for the level of training that was on display,” said Mary Giannone Talmi, associate artistic director. “I think that because we have beautiful full-length productions, beautiful sets

and costumes, that it’s time to show the Berkshires, eastern New York, Southern Vermont and Connecticut these productions. "There aren't many ballet companies today doing full-length productions and I think we do them very well. We've got beautiful The School of the Albany Berkshire Ballet students in the junior company who work well with our professional dancers, and I think it's time to showcase them, so we get the broad-base support of those who only come to 'The

Nutcracker' but would love to to see the company in 'Pygmalion,' in 'Romeo and Juliet,' in 'Swan Lake.' I really think that we're the company to do it." While the “Midsummer” production will utilize the company’s costumes and Thurston Munson sets and backdrops, a new version of the two-act play is being staged and choreographed by Paula Weber, professor of ballet and chairwoman of dance for the University of MissouriKansas City’s Conservatory of Music and Dance.

which Daniel Chester French sculpted his most famous work, "Seated Lincoln," could have been lost to time, had his daughter, Margaret French Cresson not taken steps to preserve her father's legacy and the estate on which the sculptor and his family spent countless summers. Cresson, who would eventually reside year-round in the Colonial-revival style home designed by Henry Bacon (designer of the Lincoln Memorial building), would form the Daniel Chester French Foundation with the purpose of preserving her father's studio, his casts and bronzes and 70 acres of the estate. (The donation was ofﬁcially announced in November 1968.) On June 9, 1969, Chesterwood — the small studio, barn gallery, works and land — were transferred by the foundation to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, in a ceremony on the studio's lawn. Since then, the National Trust has overseen the property and works, opening it each summer to the public for tours. (The family home, also known as Chesterwood, following Cresson's death, was donated to the National Trust in 1973.) In celebration of Chesterwood's 50th anniversary, the National Trust will host a

Summer Previews 2019 • 45 Studio Garden Party Beneﬁt, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday, June 1. "It's not going to be a formal sit-down dinner, but a 'moveable feast of the arts,'" said Margaret Cherin, manager of marketing and business operations as Chesterwood. The evening (a ticketed event), she said, will include a performance by Dances by Isadora, a "tableaux vivant," live sculpting in the studio by master ﬁgure sculptor Marc Mellon and live music. Hors d'oeuvres and a signature cocktail will be available throughout the evening. "We know that Isadora Duncan danced on the lawn of Chesterwood," Cherin said. "This dance company is a direct descendant of her teachings." Daniel Chester French and his wife, Mary Adams French, were known to entertain guests with rousing games of "tableaux vivant," where the couple and their friends would dress in costumes and recreate scenes from famous paintings. "We still have the big frame that they used," Cherin said. "We thought it would be fun to recreate this." Additional plans to celebrate the anniversary of Chesterwood becoming a National Trust site include a community day on Sunday, June 9. The day, made possible through the sponsorship of several local cultural councils with funds from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, will allow the public to tour the grounds, studio and house for free from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Art activities will be offered throughout the day. "We're hoping the community will come out to celebrate with us," Cherin said. For more information and additional events, visit chesterwood.org.

PLEASANT VALLEY WILDLIFE SANCTUARY

90 years of protecting wildlife, nature

PHOTO PROVIDED BY MASS AUDUBON

Pleasant Valley attracted 4,000 visitors in 1930, a year after the land was purchased by the Lenox Garden Club Roadside Committee. BY SHARON SMULLEN Eagle Correspondent

From modest farmland beginnings, Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary has become a beacon of wildlife conservation in the Berkshires. This summer, the Mass Audubon oasis in Lenox will celebrate the 90th anniversary of its founding with a slate of programs for nature lovers of all ages. “The Lenox Garden Club Roadside Committee founded the sanctuary in 1929,” said Becky Cushing, Berkshire sanctuaries director for Mass Audubon since 2014.

The committee did so by purchasing Powers and Crockett Farms, 300 acres in total, she said during an interview in the property's original 1790 farmhouse. That same year, Maurice Broun began creating a sanctuary for birds and wildﬂowers, complete with bird boxes and acres of nature trails. His trail-blazing efforts attracted 4,000 visitors in 1930. The popular day camp would follow 17 years later, opened by Director Alvah Sanborn in 1947. In 1950, the sanctuary was gifted to Mass Audubon, which has overseen the prop-

erty since that time. Over the next 50 years, Pleasant Valley has grown to include 1,400 acres, ranging from wetlands to mountains. Festivities celebrating the anniversary begin with the annual Family Fun Day on June 1. The free event, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., includes animal presentations by Jen Leahey of Nature Matters, natural crafts projects, storytelling, ﬁddle music by George Wilson and nature exploration stations. The sanctuary will debut the Trailside Music Series on July 12 with a free concert by The Picky B's. The free

concert series, a first for the property, will continue with The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow on July 31 and The Amy Ryan Band on Aug. 10. The summer celebrations will culminate on Aug. 3 with a day-long 90th birthday party and alumni reunion, which will feature Pleasant Valley traditions — bird walks, pond explorations and an evening bonfire with s'mores and camp songs. Pleasant Valley's inhabitants include heron, cuckoos, kingfisher and box nesting bluebirds. Its vernal pools are home to spotted salamanders and wood frogs, while

Birding is a popular activity at Pike's Pond at Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. This is also a good spot to watch beavers at dusk. its forests are home to black bears, bobcat, fox, porcupine, ﬁsher, mink, weasel, otter, beaver. "All the animals you would expect to see,” Cushing said. Annual attendance is now around 20,000, she said. Summer attracts people who own second homes, while international visitors from two dozen countries come for the fall foliage. Some locals, she noted, “walk here every day.” "We’re seeing a huge increase in our off-season enrollment,” Cushing said. Among the hundreds of public programs, popular activities include “Moonlight Owl and Wildlife Prowl” and “Evening at the Beaver Ponds,” the once ubiquitous dam builders successfully reintroduced to Pleasant Valley in 1932 by warden Morris Pell following regional extirpation. Under Cushing’s predecessor, Rene Laubach, who spent 30 years as sanctuaries director, Mass Audubon’s Berkshire holdings nearly doubled. Acquiring Lime Kiln Farm in Shefﬁeld “was near and dear to my heart,” Laubach said from his Santa Fe home. "It’s a beautiful property.” In 1997, 350 General Elec-

tric volunteers renovated Pleasant Valley’s original barn, education center and trails. "That tremendous effort was the ﬁrst major update in years," Laubach recalled. School outreach — sending teachers into schools and hosting children on ﬁeld trips — has been a primary focus since the early 1940s. “It’s critical to expose kids to nature and the environment,” Laubach said. “They’re the future and will be making the decisions before too long.” Getting people back in contact with the natural world "is spiritual and good exercise. You can come to a quiet, peaceful place, sit on a bench and listen to water falling in the stream." The 90th anniversary celebrates everyone who has been a part of Pleasant Valley, Cushing said. “We advocate for the protection of wildlife and the environment they need to survive,” she said. “So we have to get people to love and care about nature and connect them to it. We help people have those nature moments that shift their understanding.”

BARRINGTON STAGE COMPANY

Jam-packed season for 25th anniversary

PHOTO PROVIDED BY KEVIN SPRAGUE

Barrington Stage Company staged a successful run of "On the Town" in 2013 before transferring to Broadway, where it was nominated for four Tony Awards. BY JEFFREY BORAK The Berkshire Eagle PITTSFIELD — Barrington Stage

Company began life in 1995 at Macano Inn in Housatonic, with Gail Nelson as Billie Holiday in "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill," set in a seedy dive in her native Philadelphia, where the legendary singer is giving one of her last performances before her death on July 17, 1959. It's no mere chance, then, that Nelson is returning to Barrington Stage this summer — 9:30 p.m., June 1; 8 p.m., June 3 — to help celebrate 25 years of theater-

making in the Berkshires. The venue this time is Mr. Finn's Cabaret on the lower level of BSC's Sydelle and Lee Blatt Performing Arts Center, 36 Linden St. And, as it happens, June 1 at Barrington Stage belongs not only to the classic blues of Billie Holiday. That same evening, only a few blocks away in BSC's Boyd-Quinson Mainstage, the collaborative band, The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow, marks the release of its ﬁrst full-length album with a big concert bash, beginning at 8 p.m. The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow Album Release Kick-Off

and "Gail Nelson Sings Billie Holiday" are not the ﬁrst events in the busy summer portion of Barrington Stage Company's 25th anniversary season. That honor belongs to "Hold These Truths," a solo play by Jeanne Sakata, starring Joel de la Fuente as George Hirabayashi, a Japanese-American who fought the U.S. government's policy of forcibly moving Japanese-Americans into detention camps right after Pearl Harbor. In addition to BSC's BoydQuinson Mainstage and St. Germain Stage productions, the season is ﬁlled with a series of discussions and spe-

cial events. But no event is more special this summer than the 25th anniversary Gala bash on June 24 honoring BSC's Founding Artistic Director Julianne Boyd. Beginning at 5 p.m. with cocktails and noshes under a big tent across the street from the Boyd-Quinson Mainstage, 30 Union St., the gala continues at 6 p.m. at the Boyd-Quinson Mainstage by "The Impossible Dream," a one-night-only performance by popular BSC artists and some very special guests to honor BSC's anniversary and Boyd. At 7:15, the action shifts back to the tent for signature cocktails, din-

ner, an auction and dancing. But life at BSC, during any typical season, is not only plays, musicals (familiar and new or in development), discussions, Youth Theatre and special events. Indeed, life at Barrington Stage is often a cabaret, old chum — Mr. Finn's Cabaret, that is, in the lower level of the Sydelle and Lee Blatt Performing Arts Center. Mr. Finn's Cabaret is named after Broadway composer-lyricist William Finn, who supervises BSC's Musi-

cal Theatre Lab. It is a diverse series of entertainers who, in addition to performing onstage, ﬁlm and television, have found a home in cabarets and clubs. This year's series kicks off at 9:30 p.m., June 16, with the young members of BSC's Musical Theatre Conservatory in a program they call "You Could Drive a Person Crazy: Songs of Obsession." Over the course of the summer, Mr. Finn's Cabaret will present Jim Caruso with pia-

nist Bill Stritch, 8 p.m., July 7; Stritch on his own, 8 p.m., Aug. 11 and 12; and up-andcoming actress-singer-writer Grace McLean, 8 p.m., Aug. 19. But looking at the schedule there are, it seems to me, a couple standouts, not the least of them 91-yearold Marilyn Maye, who is as stylish and energetic as ever. Her show, "I Wish I Were 90 Again!" surveys her familiar territory, The Great American Songbook. She performs 8 p.m., Aug. 4 and 5.

A younger generation is in charge July 8 when 48-yearold Tony Award-winning composer-lyricist Jason Robert Brown ("The Last Five Years," "Bridges of Madison County," "Parade") performs material that spans his career, including his new album, "How We React and How We Recover." His show begins at 8 p.m. British-born vocalist, recording artist and Las Vegas entertainer Clint Holmes honors legendary singer Nat

Emmy Award-winning comedian and writer John Mulaney headlines the 2019 Mahaiwe Gala on Aug. 10. 413-458-3253, wtfestival.org Showtimes and tickets online. June 25 - July 13: “A Raisin in the Sun,” by Lorraine Hansberry, directed by Robert O’ Hara. Lena Younger (S. Epatha Merkerson) and her son, Walter Lee (Francois Battiste), are at odds. Lena wants to use her late husband’s life insurance to move her family out of their cramped apartment on Chicago’s South Side. Walter Lee would rather use the funds to start a business and become an independent man. As their dispute intensiﬁes, the powerful and destructive forces of 1950s America come knocking at the Youngers’ front door. Main Stage.

June 26 - July 7: “A Human Being, Of A Sort,” by Jonathan Payne, directed by Whitney White. It’s 1906, and at the Bronx Zoological Park, an African-American convict named “Smokey” (Andre Braugher) is guarding the zoo’s most sensational

exhibit: Ota Benga (Antonio Michael Woodard), a Congolese pygmy. As the public’s fascination intensiﬁes and protestors call for Ota’s release, Smokey must grapple with the fact that his own freedom depends on another black man’s captivity. Nikos Stage.

July 10 - 20: “Selling Kabul,” by Sylvia Khoury, directed by Tyne Rafaeli. Taroon (Babak Tafti), a former interpreter for the U.S. military, lives in hiding from the Taliban in his sister, Aﬁya’s (Marjan Neshat), home in Kabul, Afghanistan. As Taroon restlessly awaits news from the hospital on the eve of his ﬁrst child’s birth, his brother-in-law, Jawid (Omar Metwally), works to protect him from dangers lurking outside the apartment walls. Nikos Stage.

July 17 - 28: “Grand Horizons,” by Bess Wohl, directed by Leigh

Silverman. Bill and Nancy (Jamey Sheridan and JoBeth Williams) have been happily married for 50 years. They can ﬁnish each other’s sentences and anticipate each other’s every sigh, snore and sneeze. But there’s one thing nobody could have anticipated: Nancy wants out. As their adult sons, Brian and Ben (Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Thomas Sadoski), descend on the Grand Horizons senior living community, the walls of the French family asthey-know-it come crumbling down. Main Stage.

July 24 - Aug. 3: “Tell Me I’m Not Crazy,” by Sharyn Rothstein, directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel. Forced into retirement and unsettled by the changing world around him, Sol Koening (Mark Blum) buys himself a gun — and his family is up in arms. His wife, Diana (Jane Kaczmarek), thought they’d spend more time together and with the

grandkids, but Sol’s new hobby puts a bullet in that plan. Meanwhile, their son, Nate (Mark Feuerstein). is trying to be a good stay-at-home dad while his jet-setting wife, Alisa (Nadine Malouf), climbs the corporate ladder, and school is calling with concerns about their kid. Nikos Stage.

July 31 - Aug. 18: “Ghosts,” by Henrik Ibsen, directed Carey Perloff. With great happiness, Mrs. Alving (Uma Thurman) welcomes her painter son, Oswald (Tom Pecinka), home from years of living abroad. But when he starts to ﬂirt with the family maid, she must intercede to save her son and herself from scandals present and past. Mrs. Alving struggles to ﬁnd joy in a life bound by the strictures of Pastor Manders (Bernard White) and the spectral chains of mistakes from long ago. Main Stage.

Calendar: THEATER Aug. 7 - 18: “Before the Meeting,” by Adam Bock, directed by Trip Cullman. Every day, Gail (Ellen Barkin) and the regular members of her early morning group set up for their meeting in the exact same way: Nicole (Midori Francis) makes the coffee, Gail arranges the chairs, and Ron (Jason Butler Harner) complains. As they forge a path toward sobriety and well-being, they come to rely on the routine and each other. But when Gail’s estranged granddaughter reopens old wounds, Gail knows it will take more than coffee, chairs and companionship to keep her life from falling apart. Nikos Stage. Aug. 11 - 14: “Summer’s Soldier.”

Seventh-grader Sam has kept to herself since her dad died while serving in the military. Her mother and her aunt have tried everything to get her to open up, but she only truly comes out of her shell around a ﬁre, telling ghost stories, in the woods with her friends. When Sam’s favorite story suddenly materializes before her eyes, she sets out on an adventure and, ultimately, on a journey of self-discovery. This free and family-friendly world premiere by Boo Killebrew, with music by Heather Christian, lyrics by Lucy Thurber, and directed by Jenna Worsham, tells the story of one unforgettable summer in the Berkshires. Reservations required.
