Review: JOHN & JEN at Berkshire Theatre Group
by Marc Savitt - May 31, 2026

As BTG's Artistic Director, CEO Kate Maguire stated: 'Through moments of joy, heartbreak, humor and healing, JOHN & JEN explores the enduring connections between siblings, parents and children- the people who remain part of us across a lifetime.  With Andrew Lippa's moving score and a story filled with tenderness and truth, this production invites us to reflect on the love we carry, the memories that define us and the resilience that helps us move forward.  Those that choose to attend JOHN AND JEN on the Larry Vaber Stage at Berkshire Theatre Group's Unicorn Theatre in Stockbridge where this production of JOHN AND JEN runs through June 7, will experience a well-crafted, well executed piece of contemporary musical theatre.
