Berkshire organizations based or doing business in the county have now snagged $20.9 million out of $215 million awarded statewide.
âThe money will be put to good use,â said Allyn Burrows, artistic director of Shakespeare & Company. He pointed out that the funds are allocated to the troupeâs current annual budget, a decision made âin hopeful anticipationâ of winning a grant.
The Roomful of Teeth Vocal Arts Project won a talent rep award of $219,362. The vocal ensemble founded in Williamstown by Brad Wells in 2009 and still based there has performed annually at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams. Wells is Director of choral/vocal activities and artist-in-residence at Williams College.
