ADAMS, Mass. — High school students at Berkshire Arts & Technology Charter Public School will perform "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at First Congregational Church on Friday, Dec. 4, and Saturday, Dec. 5, at 7 both nights.
The production is the culminating event in a 13-week class that is part of the school's visiting artist program.
For the first trimester of the school year, resident artist Alexia Trainor has offered a drama class to students exploring dramatic theory and technique, studying the text, and preparing students for their performance of the Shakespeare comedy.
Trainor has been a performer, director and producer of theater throughout the Berkshires for the past 15 years. She attended Berkshire Community College and Marymount Manhattan College, where she studied directing and acting. She is a founder and executive director of Main Street Stage in North Adams. She is also a founding member of The Royal Berkshire Improv Troupe and a resident clown for Nutshell Playhouse Children's Theatre.
During each trimester, BArT students have the opportunity to work with professional artists who represent a range of artistic backgrounds and who work in a variety of media including drama, music, the visual arts, and digital media. BArT’s Artist Residency Program is funded through a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts.
The performances of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" are open to the public. Admission is $5 for students and children and $7 for adults. |
