Review: OUT OF CHARACTER at Berkshire Theatre Group
by Marc Savitt - Jul 6, 2025
Over the course of the immensely entertaining and enjoyable, frenetically paced, roughly hour and a half presentation (without intermission), I smiled, nodded, laughed a great deal, cried to a much lesser degree, and felt seen, heard, and understood.

The play The Scenarios successfully proves the fact that it is impossible to fit the messiness and vagaries of life into the role-playing scenarios (that are well-intentioned) that society often employs to help with remediation and beneficial effects. This World Premiere that is being presented by Studio Theatre is an intriguing concept of a play that is very solidly produced by a tight acting ensemble, but I wish it could have been a bit longer to develop the backstories of the characters.
