To the editor:
As a volunteer for Shakespeare & Company, I have witnessed how the company’s Fall Festival of Shakespeare can be a transformative experience for area high school students. There is nothing like seeing a group of kids finding their voices—and probably new-found senses of self confidence in the process of performing.
An anonymous donor has made a $30,000 Match Grant Challenge to support the Fall Festival, and every dollar given will be doubled up to $30,000 from now through Fall Festival Weekend (November 21 to 24). Given how this program has continually served students in the area year after year, I urge Berkshire County residents to help Shakespeare & Company meet this goal.
