Review for Shakespeare & Company, Inc., Lenox, MA, USA
Over the last 33 years, Shakespeare & Company has become an essential and irreplaceable part of the Berkshire community. Aside from a long history of spectacular, moving, and hilarious Shakespeare productions, the company offers training programs for professional actors from around the world that cannot be found elsewhere. By creating these opportunities whereby actors, directors, and educators come together to train and learn from each other, this company had rendered a cadre of top teachers who've gone out into the world and dramatically changed the way that theatre is taught at all levels of education, and thus, improved the theatrical productions, television, and films we see. Shakespeare & Company deserves all of the support they can get.
