Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo at the Mahaiwe

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo brings its troupe of male dancers to the Mahaiwe on Saturday, Feb. 7 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., to perform a combination of skillful pointe work and parodying of classical ballet favorites like Swan Lake.

According to a press release:

Founded in New York City in 1974, the company, affectionately known as the Trocks, began by appearing in late-late shows in off-off Broadway lofts for small audiences who appreciated the iconoclastic humor of it all. In the over 50 years since then, the company has grown to achieve great appeal among more mainstream audiences who, each season, flock to theaters throughout the world to see these prima ballerinas perform. Revered by ballet aficionados as well as the uninitiated—those who don't know a plié from a jeté—the Trocks are “a guaranteed hoot for people who know nothing of ballet and an absolute must for those who think they know the originals” (Sydney Star Observer).

Tickets are $35 to $70 with discounts for Mahaiwe Members and individuals ages 30 and under.

Tickets can be purchased online at mahaiwe.org, or by calling or visiting the Box Office, 413-528-0100, on Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass.—The Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires, in partnership with The Berkshire Eagle, will present the ninth annual Berkshire Nonprofit Awards breakfast on Tuesday, May 19, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Country Club of Pittsfield.

The awards recognize individuals who work in the nonprofit sector to serve the Berkshire community.

Nominations are being solicited from across the Berkshires in seven categories: Executive Leadership, Board Leadership, Unsung Hero, Volunteer, Rock Star, Lifetime Achievement, and the Samya Rose Stumo Youth Leadership Award.

Honorees—one in each category—will be selected by a committee of business and nonprofit leaders. Nomination forms are available at npcberkshires.org/nominate. The deadline for submissions is March 13.
