Dance Center Jacob's Pillow Closes Campus After Staff Member Passes Away

Jacob's Pillow has announced the closing of its campus and cancellation of all performances on Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3, after the passing of a staff member. Kat Sirico was the production manager of the facility.

Performances are set to resume next week as planned.
