BECKET, Mass. — More than 100 community members of all ages celebrated the opening of Jacob's Pillow's Doris Duke Theatre with a community pop-up dance and open house on Sunday. 
 
The event precedes the theater's ribbon-cutting ceremony, which is scheduled to take place on Wednesday. 
 
The day was filled with smiles, laughter, tears, art unveilings, and, of course, lots of dancing. 
 
Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival at 93 years is the longest-running dance festival in the nation, and the only national historic landmark dedicated to dance, said Pamela Tatge, executive and artistic director. 
 
"There are very few places in our nation that care about, revere, preserve, and celebrate dance like Jacob's Pillow. This theater is all about dance," she said. 
 
"It's dance in the future. It's dance in a way that will not only include artists that have made their artistic homes at Jacob's Pillow, but artists of the future. We are about the past, present, and future of dance at Jacob's Pillow."
 
Since the 1990s, the dance venue has had three stages: the Ted Shawn Theatre, the first theater built for dance in America; the outdoor stage, which has the backdrop of the Berkshire Hills; and Doris Duke Theatre.
