Following last summerâs first-ever season cancellation and the November fire that destroyed the Doris Duke Theatre, Jacobâs Pillow is rebounding this summer with an impressive schedule of live performances at outdoor sites throughout its Becket campus, all following strict COVID protocols. Announced Tuesday, the June 30-Aug. 29 season will also offer unprecedented online access to most festival programming, including a free virtual gala June 12.
The 2021 summer Festival will be the first to feature on-site and online programming.
On-site events will run June 30-Aug. 29, with online streaming through Sept. 23. The newly imagined Festival â with the safety of artists, staff and audiences at the forefront of all planning â will feature commissioned works and world premieres and engage hundreds of artists who have had incredibly limited performance opportunities for the past year because of the global coronavirus pandemic. (Jacob s Pillow was forced to cancel its 2020 summer season in response to COVID-19.)
The 2021 Festival also is the first organized by an expanded curatorial team made up of Artistic and Executive Director Pamela Tatge and Associate Curators Melanie George and Ali Rosa-Salas.
