PITTSFIELD, MA—Berkshire Theatre Group (BTG) and Artistic Director and CEO Kate Maguire are excited to announce that, due to exceptional advance ticket sales and overwhelming demand, the run of Lovesong has been extended by one week before the production has even opened.
Originally scheduled to close earlier, the production will now run through Saturday, August 29 at 7pm at The Unicorn Theatre in Stockbridge.
Directed by David Auburn, Lovesong features Karen Allen, David Garrison, Rebecca Brooksher and Shawn Fagan in Abi Morgan’s poignant and imaginative play about love, memory and the enduring bonds that connect us across time.
“We’re thrilled by the incredible response from audiences,” said Kate Maguire, Artistic Director and CEO of Berkshire Theatre Group. “The enthusiasm for Lovesong has been extraordinary, and we’re delighted to extend the production to give even more people the opportunity to experience this beautiful play.”
