Lenox — Berkshire Theatre Group (BTG) and WAM Theatre are excited to announce the addition of three extra performances of their co-production, “What the Constitution Means to Me.” Due to overwhelming demand and the incredible response from audiences, these additional shows will take place on Sunday, May 28 at 7 p.m., Tuesday, May 30 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, June 4 at 2 p.m. at the Unicorn Theatre in Stockbridge.
“What the Constitution Means to Me” is a captivating and thought-provoking play written by renowned playwright Heidi Schreck. It explores the personal and political significance of the United States Constitution, delving into its impact on women’s rights, race and the pursuit of the American Dream. The play has received widespread critical acclaim for its compelling storytelling and timely examination of our nation’s founding principles.
Kate Maguire, CEO and Artistic Director of Berkshire Theatre Group, added, “The response we have received for ‘What the Constitution Means to Me’ has been incredible. Audiences have embraced this production with open hearts and minds, sparking important conversations about our democracy. We are thrilled to extend the run and share this transformative theatrical experience with more people.”
Director and WAM Producing Artistic Director, Kristen van Ginhoven expressed her excitement about the added shows, saying, “After the past few challenging years, it is thrilling to see this show selling so well. We are grateful to audiences for embracing this show and are excited to add two more chances for audiences to enjoy the work of these extraordinary artists. Get your tickets now–they will go fast! See you at the theatre!”
Tickets are also still available for the sensory-friendly performance on Tuesday, May 31 at 6 p.m.
A “sensory-friendly” performance is a production that is slightly modified to accommodate individuals with sensory-input disorders, such as people on the autism spectrum. At this public performance, you will notice relaxed “house rules;” people may need to get up, move around, and leave the theatre during the performance, theatre lighting will remain at half for the duration of the performance and sound may be modified. Our goal is to create an environment where people with autism or sensory needs, along with their families, can enjoy coming to the theatre together and will feel comfortable, supported, and free to be themselves.
Tickets are on sale now. All plays, schedules, casting and prices are subject to change.
