Barrington Stage Company has been presenting award winning theatre in downtown Pittsfield for more than a quarter century.

BSC Artistic Director, Julianne Boyd, who directs this production, said that WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE? Is a tribute to Gershwin’s indominable spirit and love-for-life. It is also a joyous and triumphant return of live theatre to the Berkshires following the bleakness of the pandemic.
