Why Advertise with BSC?
Barrington Stage Company continues to be a proud part of the booming cultural economy of Pittsfield and Berkshire County. Audiences and critics raved about our 2012 season, which attracted more than 51,000 patrons (an increase of 6% over 2011) who visited our three theatres from May through October. Barrington Stage is the fastest growing performing arts venue in Berkshire County.
The Mainstage production of Fiddler on the Roof was the most-attended musical in our 18-year history and Mark St. Germain’s world premiere play, Dr. Ruth, All the Way, was one of our best-selling plays at St. Germain Stage, receiving wide critical acclaim. Our Youth Theatre moved to a new home at Berkshire Museum where we presented Disney’s Beauty and the Beast to more than 3,700 youth and adults. And in the fall, our Mainstage production of Lord of the Flies was performed for the public as well as 2,000 students from across Berkshire County.
In 2013 we expect an even larger audience, and we hope you will consider bringing your company’s message to our diverse audience of theatregoers.
