PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Barrington Stage Company has announced the 2018 associate artists: director Joe Calarco, costume designer Jennifer Caprio, music director Vadim Feichtner and actress Elizabeth Stanley.

“It is my honor to welcome these outstanding new Associate Artists,” said Artistic Director Julianne Boyd. “Each one has made a significant contribution to the work we do at Barrington Stage. We could not have accomplished all that we have without their enthusiastic support and expertise.”

Associate artists are integral members of the BSC theater family who have made extraordinary contributions to the theater. They have helped the theater accomplish its mission, both by collaborating on top-notch work at BSC and by fostering a close relationship with the community. Associate artists are part of the artistic team and help by suggesting plays and musicals to be produced, by developing new work on both the Boyd-Quinson Mainstage and the St. Germain Stage and by consulting with the artistic director on various projects, both artistic and educational.
