Pittsfield, MA – Berkshire Theatre Group (BTG) and The Trustees of Reservations (The Trustees) are thrilled to announce an exciting collaboration that offers patrons a unique and immersive experience this fall season. With a shared commitment to delivering exceptional entertainment and cultural experiences, this partnership promises an unforgettable blend of theater and autumn festivities, perfect for the Halloween season.
This fall, Berkshire Theatre Group’s Unicorn Theatre hosts Mary Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses, a theatrical event that brings ancient myths to life with striking imagery and timeless themes. Filled with gods and mortals, transformations and curses, love and vengeance, these powerful stories echo the mystery and magic we associate with Halloween. In partnership with Naumkeag’s Incredible Pumpkin Show, Metamorphoses offers audiences an autumn experience that blends the haunting beauty of myth with the spirit of the season. Due to its challenging themes, the play is recommended for ages 14 and up.
As a special bonus, patrons who purchase tickets for Metamorphoses will receive exclusive access to tickets for the much-anticipated The Incredible Naumkeag Pumpkin Show 2025, an event that transforms ordinary pumpkins into a mesmerizing wonderland of art and imagination. Additionally, tickets for The Pumpkin Show are available at a discounted price of $20, compared to the regular price of $25 for adults on weekdays and $30 on weekends. In the past years, The Pumpkin Show sold out, making this exclusive access an excellent chance to secure tickets.
Patrons who purchase a ticket to any performance of Metamorphoses at The Unicorn Theatre will receive one-to-one access for tickets to The Incredible Naumkeag Pumpkin Show for 5pm entry on the same day as the performance. For example, one ticket to Metamorphoses grants access to purchase one ticket to The Pumpkin Show; two tickets to Metamorphoses entitles access to two tickets to The Pumpkin Show, and so on. Parking will be available at Berkshire Theatre Group’s Unicorn Theatre for patrons attending both Metamorphoses and The Pumpkin Show. Patrons should park as they normally would for their performance of Metamorphoses, and walk down to the Playhouse parking lot where you will check in with Naumkeag staff to board the shuttle. For those only attending The Pumpkin Show, parking is available at The Playhouse Theatre parking lot.
Berkshire Theatre Group and The Trustees of Reservations are dedicated to enhancing the cultural vibrancy of our community. This collaboration represents a perfect fusion of the arts and the beauty of nature, offering a day in Stockbridge filled with top-tier entertainment and seasonal fun.

About Berkshire Theatre Group
Founded in 2010 through the merger of The Colonial Theatre (est. 1903) and the Berkshire Theatre Festival (est. 1928), Berkshire Theatre Group (BTG) operates four distinct performance spaces across its historic campuses in Pittsfield and Stockbridge. In 2028, BTG will celebrate a major milestone—100 years of continuous theatre in the Berkshires. Under the leadership of Artistic Director and CEO Kate Maguire, BTG has expanded its programming to include award-winning theatre, music, dance and year-round educational offerings. Each year, BTG engages more than 68,000 patrons and reaches approximately 10,000 students through its BTG PLAYS! education program. In 2020, BTG became the first theatre company in the United States to receive approval from Actors’ Equity Association to produce a musical during the COVID-19 pandemic. That production of Godspell marked a national turning point for live performance. BTG remains committed to preserving and revitalizing its historic venues. The Colonial Theatre, originally opened in 1903 and restored in 2006, continues to serve as a cultural anchor in downtown Pittsfield. Planned improvements to the Stockbridge Playhouse further reflect BTG’s dedication to honoring its storied past while building for the future.
