Theater - Berkshire School

The Theater program at Berkshire presents two plays and a musical on the main stage of Allen Theater each year, often performed to a packed house of faculty, students, family and friends, as well as members of the local community. While many students are eager for the opportunity to perform, the program also allows for other theater-related interests to be explored, including technical directing, stage management, set building, sound and lighting.

Recent theater productions include Mama Mia!, Legally Blonde, Hairspray, Spamalot, Romeo and Juliet, In The Heights, Grease, Into The Woods and The Crucible.

ABOUT THE PLAY

Berkshire celebrates its 60th anniversary of the Winter Musical with the Theater and Music Department's production of Mamma Mia!, a bright and breezy musical featuring the timeless songs of ABBA, set on a beautiful Greek island. The audience follows Sophie, a young bride-to-be, who secretly invites three men from her mother's past, hoping to discover which one is her father before her upcoming wedding day.

A celebration of love, family, and self-discovery, the show offers up romance and classic high-energy musical numbers that promise a toe-tapping good time in Allen Theater!

Theater Program Director Jesse Howard says, "Mamma Mia! is that rare musical that combines humor and depth against a backdrop of fantastic music. A live band and an amazing cast of energetic performers deliver a story about taking risks and pursuing your dreams."

The expectations and standards are high for the productions themselves, and for the well-being of everyone on the team. I'm continually impressed with the habits of care each student embraces towards an environment of belonging. This is the reverb of full participation."
