Editor's Note

Summer should be fun And I have a feeling this summer is going to be one of the best we’ve had in the Berkshires in a long time.

My summer calendar is already filled to the brim with art, theater, music, dance and more. I know that I can’t attend every event, that I’ll have to pick and choose. But how do you choose between all the options we have? How do you fit it all in and still have time to relax?

I know I’m looking forward to listening to the Boston Symphony Orchestra while enjoying a picnic on the Tanglewood lawn; seeing the exquisite art offerings of our museums; strolling through sculptural works at Chesterwood and SculptureNow at The Mount; attending tea and talks at Ventfort Hall; and taking in a performance at Jacob’s Pillow. There’s also so much to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the Berkshire Museum and the reopening of the Dream Away Lodge in Becket are two that immediately come to mind

It’s not a bad problem to have too many options, but making decisions about what to attend can sometimes be overwhelming. Hopefully this edition of Summer Previews will help relieve some of the stress of planning your summer.

My prediction for this summer? It will be great and by the time September rolls around, I’m going to need a vacation to recuperate from all the fun I’ve had.
