This year, Barrington Stage is planning to hold three shows at its Mainstage performance space in Pittsfield, three outdoor shows and special concerts, according to Julianne Boyd, the theater companyâs artistic director.
During three days of activities, CEO and Artistic Director Andy Sandberg said arts lovers also will get sneak peeks at two of the works being created by past Hermitage Greenfield Prize commissions. The premieres of those works were delayed because of the pandemic.
Helga Davis, a composer, vocalist and performance artist and winner of the 2019 prize, had intended to present the premiere of “Ocean Body/Ocean Vessel” with ensembleNEWSRQ and the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe on Monday. But Sandberg said the debut will wait until sometime during next season.
Instead, Davis will offer excerpts of her piece, described as exploring a friendship through music, sculpture and Manasota Key, during a virtual program at 7 p.m. Thursday.
