As we alluded to last week, August is vacation month for many business leaders, teachers and area employees. Though our seasonal businesses may not have a moment to spare, many other businesses do make sure their employees take some time off in August. With school coming back in-person for many families this fall, this August will likely be busier than ever as family’s have one last hurrah.
This month we’ll be highlighting some things you can do with your friends and family on your staycation. Some of these are one-of-a-kind events while others are activities that you may not have thought of. Here they are in no particular order:
PITTSFIELD Barrington Stage Company and Berkshire Theatre Group top BroadwayWorldâs 2020 Berkshires Awards for achievements over the past decade including theater company of the decade (Barrington Stage); musical production of the decade (âGodspellâ at BTG); and play production of the decade (âBreaking the Code,â BSC).
All in all, Barrington Stage garnered 10 awards; BTG garnered seven in a poll of best local theater of the decade as nominated by and voted on by the theatergoing public. Eligibility was for productions which opened between Jan. 1, 2011 and Sept. 30, 2020. Voting ran through Dec. 31, 2020. Regional and community theater productions, student productions, and college productions were all included.
