This year's Community Day will feature a full schedule of events, including:

• A Shakespeare Training workshop and an air broadsword demonstration

• Live trivia, acoustic performances, photo opportunities, scavenger hunts, and more

• Live music by The Eagles Band at 11 a.m. at the Arthur S. Waldstein Amphitheatre

• Campus tours led by General Manager Steve Ball and his canine companion, Willie

• An excerpt screening of King Lear starring Christopher Lloyd, followed by a Q&A

• Drag Story Hour and crafts hosted by the Berkshires Chapter of Drag Story Hour

“We're thrilled to welcome the community back to our campus for this joyful celebration,” said Artistic Director Allyn Burrows. “Whether you're a longtime supporter or new to Shakespeare & Company, there's something here for everyone to enjoy.”
