This is the last week to see Pearl Cleage's "Blues for an Alabama Sky" @BarringtonStage directed by Candis C. Jones. Here's my #theater review in @SplashMagWW

I'm pretty sure that I've seen my favorite performance of the #berkshires cultural summer season: Gauthier Dance from Stuttgart at @JacobsPillow Can't wait to watch this spectacular #dancecompany again.

The #NationalDutchBallet made its @JacobsPillow debut last week in the #berkshires with an evening of exquisite #dance from #classical #ballet to #contemporary #choreogrpahy The dancers wowed the crowd with finesse & virtuosity. My review @SplashMagWW https://t.co/oIuUI0zoYp

This weekend #ElvisCostello made his @Tanglewood debut with opener #NickLowe. So glad he filled the show with his 70s hits like Red Shoes, Radio Radio & My Aim Is True. Here's my review in @SplashMagWW https://t.co/R8a6zK5OOu

The live taping of @waitwait @TanglewoodMA kicked off summer in the #berkshires in the most hysterical way. Icing on the cake: #karenallen as celebrity guest. Read all about this laugh-out-loud night plus a preview of popular acts coming to the #Berkshires

Photograph 51 at @BrkshireThtrGrp focuses on the life & work of British scientist #RosalindFranklin whose contributions to discovering the structure of #DNA are often overlooked. An excellent telling of a tragic tale, a superb play by @abziegs #berkshires

Here's my review of the #musical #Cabaret at @BarringtonStage in the #berkshires. Spoiler Alert: It's a rave! #director Alan Paul hits it out of the ballpark in his first time at bat. So lucky to live in the country and have amazing culture on my doorstep. https://t.co/7UHIAEVRIj

The world premiere of "The Happiest Man on Earth" at @BarringtonStage is a triumph. The #berkshires cultural season is off to a great start. Great acting, direction, design, and, of course, writing. My review @SplashMagWW

The #berkshires cultural season is off to a great start! Heidi Schreck's What the Constitution Means to Me, produced by WAM Theatre & @BrkshireThtrGrp could not have been better. Here's my rave #review in @SplashMagWW

#Autumn came in like a lion; it's 46 degrees in the #berkshires this morning and not supposed to get much warmer. Windows closed; the heat is on for the first time since spring.

I wrote about #yvonchouinard when I worked on the #nexteconomy newsletter with @timoreilly. He is an iconoclast in the very best sense of the word. Bravo @patagonia!

Thank you @onepeloton for adding new #Pilates classes. So great to have more options on demand. Now if only you could keep Rebecca Kennedy’s 45-minute strength training classes available. They always disappear and they’re such a fun, thorough & challenging workout!

[Bess Hochstein @berksbess]

Glad I caught Hymn by @Lolitachakra toward the end of its run @shakeandco It was a profound & poetic, with fine performances by @KevinCraigWest & "ranney," perfect as my final play of the #berkshires cultural season. Here's my review @SplashMagWW https://t.co/X3ZdmaAffj

[Bess Hochstein @berksbess]

Go @fancyrachell ! A picture is worth a thousand words. Media like @BostonGlobe care about the Detroit water crisis, but not a peep re what's happening in their own backyard in the #berkshires. This injustice needs to be fixed ASAP! It's disgraceful.
