Berkshire Theatre Group Reveals Fall 2026 Lineup at The Colonial Theatre
The Pittsfield Season will include Orleans, The Ultimate Cher Experience, Ronstadt Rewind, and more.
Berkshire Theatre Group has announced its Fall 2026 lineup at The Colonial Theatre, a season that carries the energy of late summer into the heart of autumn with a vibrant mix of concerts, comedy and live storytelling.
As the Berkshires transition into fall, the Colonial becomes a destination for shared live experiences—from nostalgic tributes and classic rock to sharp stand-up and literary voices—offering audiences a reason to gather throughout the season.
The lineup opens with the return of Back to the Garden 1969 (Sunday, August 30 at 2pm), a theatrical concert celebrating the music and spirit of Woodstock, followed by Orleans (Friday, September 11 at 7:30pm), bringing their signature harmonies and classic hits—including “Still The One” and “Dance With Me”—to the Colonial stage.
Comedy takes the stage with The Ivy League of Comedy Tour (Saturday, September 12 at 7:30pm), followed by a series of music-driven performances including The Ultimate Cher Experience (Saturday, September 26 at 7:30pm), honoring Cher, and Ronstadt Rewind (Saturday, October 3 at 7:30pm), celebrating the songs of Linda Ronstadt.
Audiences can also experience An Evening with David Sedaris (Thursday, October 1 at 7:30pm), featuring the bestselling author's signature humor and storytelling.
Additional highlights include Deadgrass (Friday, October 9 at 7:30pm), inspired by the music of Jerry Garcia, and Asia Featuring John Payne (Saturday, October 10 at 7:30pm), bringing classic arena rock to the Colonial stage.
Interactive and nostalgia-driven performances include Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience (Friday, October 16 at 7:30pm), where audiences help shape the setlist, and The Boy Band Project (Saturday, October 17 at 7:30pm), a high-energy concert featuring Broadway performers that brings the hits, choreography and fan-fueled excitement of late-'90s and early-2000s pop back to the stage.
The season continues with Heartland (Saturday, October 24 at 7:30pm), the country group behind the chart-topping hit “I Loved Her First,” delivering an evening of harmony-driven songs that have become part of life's milestone moments, followed by Thunderbeard: A Tribute to ZZ Top (Friday, November 6 at 7:30pm), a high-energy celebration of blues-rock classics.
Family-friendly programming arrives with The Little Mermen & The Princess Pals: Disney Sing Along (Saturday, November 21 at 2pm), a high-energy, interactive concert experience featuring beloved Disney songs, costumes and sing-alongs for audiences of all ages.
“This lineup is about connection—music and stories people know and love, experienced together,” said Tor Krautter, Artistic Director of Programming. “As we move into the fall season, these performances offer a chance to gather, have fun and enjoy the energy of live performance.”
