WAM Theatre's World Premiere production of The Old Mezzo by Susan Dworkin runs Friday, October 26 at 8pm, Saturday, October 27 at 8pm and Sunday, October 28 at 5pm. Presented at the Berkshire Museum at 39 South Street in Pittsfield, MA.

The Old Mezzo concerns the political awakening of a great opera singer. Alyssa, the old mezzo, is driven by the recent death of a famous conductor to teach a master class concerning the Politics of Singing. The class becomes a play within a play where we revisit important scenes from Alyssa's past. She has assigned parts to four of her students and as the exercise unfolds, we see how Alyssa had to risk her fame and success to preserve the freedom that is so essential to the arts. By the end of the play, through a surprising connection to recent events, the importance of politics in art is revealed.

Tickets, ranging from $15-$30, can be purchased by calling 1-800-838-3006 or online at www.wamtheatre.com. In keeping with WAM's double philanthropic mission, the beneficiary for the production will be Berkshire-based Shout Out Loud Productions, a non-profit helmed by Jeanet Ingalls that takes action to address sexual trafficking. Shout Out Loud will receive up to 25% of the box office proceeds.
