ADAMS, Mass. — Starting in May, the Adams Theater is presenting a programming season featuring concerts, dance performances, a comedy, a musical homage to the Spirit of Ukraine, and the official kickoff to PRIDE weekend in the Berkshires.

Community members and visitors are invited to come see how construction has progressed in the theater.

"The Adams Theater is a work-in-progress," said Founding Executive and Artistic Director Yina Moore. "Over the past two years, the local communities have witnessed and supported our physical transformations as a building. This year, they will have the opportunity to participate in our programmatic development as an arts and performance venue that focuses on accessibility. We see this season as a collective learning and growing process between the Adams Theater, our artistic partners, and the local communities."
