PREVIEW: “Godspell” Takes the Outdoor Stage for Berkshire Theatre Group


Berkshire Theatre Group has not given up on producing quality theatre in the Berkshires this summer. Taking the optimum of safe precautions. “Godspell” will run August 6 – September 4, 2020.

Certainly, “Godspell” has been one of the most well-received musical for decades. However, BTG affords these performances something new. Instead of mounting the musical at the Berkshire Theatre main stage, the new location will be outdoors under a large tent adjacent to the Colonial Theatre, Pittsfield. Colonial is one of the five venues that compose BTF.

In this timeless tale of friendship, loyalty and love, a group of eccentric disciples help Jesus teach a variety of parables through interactive games and a heaping dose of humor. Led by the international hit, "Day by Day," Godspell features a parade of beloved songs by Tony, Academy and Grammy Award-Winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden), including: “By My Side” “Save The People” and “All for the Best.”

Brought to life by director Alan Filderman and choreographer Gerry McIntyre this theatrical sensation is a powerful reminder that through the power of community, love and kindness will live on.
