The company, based in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, was among the first regional theatres to present in-person works (albeit outdoors) since the coronavirus pandemic began. Another streaming production from the company—Jeffrey Hatcher’s Three Viewings (starring That '70s Show duo Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith)—heads online September 23–26.
