Shakespeare & Company

Alice & Len Schiller, owners of the Inn at Stockbridge are proud to by supporters and advertisers of Shakespeare & Company. We were treated to a wine and cheese party the other night and saw their new play. This was not an ordinary wine and cheese party. There were over 400 guests from all over the county. The event was catered by our friends Lynn & Christian from Ketchup to Caviar. Everything was perfect, weather setting and surroundings.

Alice & Len were then treated to see the Ladies Man, the mother in law of French farce by Charles Morey. It was directed by Kevin Coleman & starred Annette Miller as the mother in law and Elizabeth Aspenlieder, both great actresses. Annette Miller starred as Golda Meir in "Golda".
This was a convoluted story with whip-smart dialogue. It is set in Paris at the turn of the century about a suave doctor whose young wife and fire breathing mother in law suspect infidelity. The doctor gets deeper into his own soup the more he tries to prove his innocence. This is a must see if you want a good laugh.

Berkshire Cultural Season has begun

The 2008 Berkshire cultural season has begun. Alice & Len Schiller owners of the Inn at Stockbridge are fortunate to have seen the new show by the Barrington Stage Company while in previews. "I Am My Own Wife" is a Tony Award winning play by Doug Wright in the one man play starring Vince Gatton. It tells the story of of an East German transvestite Charlotte van Mahisdorf who incredibly eluded both the Nazis and communists with a combination of cleverness and deceit. We loved this play and recommend it to our guests.

In the coming weeks we are going to the Spelling Bee also by the Barrington Stage Company. Shakespeare and Company is offering the Ladies Man, the mother in law of French farce by Charles Morey. The inn is an advertiser and we are invited to a reception and showing of the play. Alice & Len love the beginning of the season and look forward to welcoming all their guests.

Shakespeare & Company

Tina Packer playing Cleopatra, I was curious. I know Tina lost weight but could she pull it off. Like everything else Tina does she did it with finesse.
Tina created this wonderful venue. I remember when she had her company at the Mount. Shakespeare was out of this venue and then bought the National music Center on Kembell St. It was a great endeavor, but her supporters had faith. One of our long time dear guest Frances Martinson and her late husband Paul were founders. We followed the progress and are now thrilled with the results.
Yes Tina was a great Cleopatra. she can do anything she sets her mind to.

The Inn at Stockbridge Bed & Breakfast is extremely busy with all our wonderful guests.. We are receiving wonderful feedback from all the cultural venues, the weather is great. What more can one ask for. Culture in the Country.
