The wheels on the bus go round and round....
Friday night took me over to Shakespeare & Co to see their critically acclaimed production of Hamlet. This production called "sharply intelligent, lean and taut…ingenious and thought-provoking…” (The Boston Globe). An extremely enjoyable evening made more so by the performance of a young actor I have had the pleasure of seeing perform in New York City.....Alexander Sovronsky as Rosencrantz. Alex is a multi-talented actor, musician, and fight scene captain.
Alexander is on the left in this photo from Shakespeare & Co.
After saying Hello to Alex after the play, the Royal Coach delivered me to Michael's of Stockbridge for more karaoke fun.
When my favorite electrician, Tom, took the stage and dedicated his song to The Countess, you know I had to get up and join in the fun....
Several of the actors, apprentices, and interns from the Berkshire Theatre Festival joined us and sang their hearts out. You can see many more pictures on Michael's website here.
Here is one of my very favorite guys, Steve....
Tommy Schrider, James Barry, and Jesse Hinson, who are starring in "The Einstein Project" which is opening this week at BTF....
David Adkins and Keira Naughton, two of the stars of "Faith Healer" came in to watch the show...
Ta - Dah !!
The Countess had no set plans for Saturday night and I had been wanting to return to the Unicorn Theatre at the Berkshire Theatre Festival to see "Faith Healer" again before it closes. Such a beautiful play with lyrical language. The play closes this Saturday, July 4th....not much time for you to get a ticket and see it. Really, it is very special. Don't miss it.
Back to Rumpy's Tavern after the theater for a nightcap. I made a new friend that night, Clifford Love.....and a love, he is! Cliff lives in New York City but felt like having a couple of months here in the beautiful Berkshires this summer. I see some good times ahead!
Also had a chance to talk with Laura, the owner of Firefly, one of the best restaurants in Lenox. In fact, The Countess will be dining there this coming Saturday before Opening Night of "The Einstein Project" at Berkshire Theatre Festival in Stockbridge.
And so another Berkshire weekend comes to a close.....but The Countess Merry-Go-Round doesn't stop for long. Tomorrow night....Karaoke at Rumpy's Tavern !! If you were there last week, you know you won't forget it.....and if you weren't, why not?
