Barrington Stage Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barrington Stage Company, a professional award-winning Equity theatre, located in the heart of the Berkshires, in Pittsfield, MA, was co-founded in 1995 by artistic director Julianne Boyd. BSC is focused on presenting new productions of undiscovered musicals and plays, in addition to developing new works for the American Theatre. BSC garnered mainstream attention with William Finn and Rachael Sheinkin's Tony Award-winning musical hit "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," which began as a workshop at BSC in February, 2004, was produced in its world premiere to critical acclaim that summer season, prior to taking New York by storm at Second Stage Theatre and later transferring to Broadway’s Circle-in-the-Square Theatre where it is currently running.
