Berkshire Actors Theatre

Berkshire Actors Theatre Professional theatre on an intimate scale. The production played to rave reviews and garnered much praise for its stellar performances.

Artistic Director Clover Bell-Devaney founded Berkshire Actors Theatre in 2011, opening with a production of John Patrick Shanley's Four Dogs and a Bone. Central to this success is the theatre's commitment to working with local Berkshire-area actors, designers, and directors. With its new summer season home at Berkshire Museum, BAT is now making its mark as part of Pittsfield's "Upstreet Cultural

District," helping to fuel the city's continued cultural renaissance. As a quality professional theatre, BAT plans to remain an indelible part of the Berkshire Arts scene for many years to come, providing audiences with the highest standards of quality performance and production values — dynamic theatre at its best.

"The true theatre, because it moves and makes use of living instruments, continues to stir up shadows where life has never ceased to grope its way."

-ANTONIN ARTAUD, preface, The Theater and Its Double

"Actors in any capacity, artists of any stripe, are inspired by their curiosity, by their desire to explore all quarters of life, in light and in dark, and reflect what they find in their work. Artists instinctively want to reflect humanity, their own and each other's, in all its intermittent virtue and vitality, frailty and fallibility.”
― Tom Hiddleston
