LENOX â It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood Saturday â William Shakespeareâs neighborhood at Shakespeare & Company â for the official launch of the theater companyâs brand new outdoor venue, The New Spruce Theatre.
For openers, the sky was crystal blue and clear. The sun shone brightly on the fields that stretch below the Tina Packer Playhouse. A gentle breeze kept the atmosphere honest and comfortable.
Signage was clear. Stripes were freshly painted in the parking area. The walkways were neatly graveled. People who had difficulty walking were ferried to their seats in a multi-passenger golf cart driven by a Shakespeare & Company staffer.
