Pack a snack, grab a blanket, gather the family and enjoy as these magical stories unfold against the backdrop of the beautiful Berkshire outdoors.

Just So Stories carries on the tradition of family friendly entertainment produced on the outdoor Neil Ellenoff Stage, which is now located on the Berkshire Theatre Festival campus grounds in Stockbridge.
