All good things must come to an end. Fiddler has closed, the cast has left, and its time to move on to the next portion of our time here at Barrington: our “Rhythms of Life” cabaret and the one act. It really is a bittersweet time as many new exciting things are happening while having [...]
Words cannot begin to express my amazing journey in Fiddler on the Roof at Barrington Stage. It’s amazing how close you could get with people in a matter of two months. I became part of a wonderful family and I will never forget the people I met in this show. I learned more than I [...]
It’s amazing to think that I’ve only been at Barrington Stage for a few weeks! I’ve already learned a tremendous amount and feel like I’m part of an amazing family here. I had extremely high expectations coming to Barrington because of the people I know who have worked here in the past, the fabulous people [...]
It has been two days since Fiddler On The Roof officially opened here at Barrington Stage Company, and I am still feeling the rush from such an event! From the talk-back with the lyricist, Sheldon Harnick, to the party that followed the show, I had chills running down my spine. Since the first day of [...]
On one of our first days of rehearsal, director Gary John LaRosa explained to us the importance of circularity in Fiddler on the Roof.

Every morning I wake up and remind myself how lucky I am to have this incredible opportunity as one of four musical theatre apprentices at Barrington this summer. Having just completed my sophomore year at Syracuse, “Fiddler on the Roof” has been my first truly professional, equity production. Rehearsals have been a challenge -- we [...]
Swaine Kaui is a Musical Directing fellow through The Drama League’s Directors Project. He is assisting on Fiddler on the Roof and The Black Suits. He will be directing the Musical Theatre Apprentice cabaret. Specificity… Try saying that three times, heck I had a hard time spelling it let alone saying it! Thank G-d for [...]
Things have been very busy in the education department at BSC. We hosted our 10th anniversary PMP benefit on March 18th at Jae’s spice. The atmosphere was wonderful. Past and present PMP participants shined on stage as they gave touching speeches, performed portions of the current season, and even rapped a tribute song for PMP [...]
PMP is in full swing now-a-days. Scenes are being written from Pittsfield to North Adams about the real life of teens. Lots of compassion, drive, and creativity are flowing behind the scenes of our soon to be staged productions. Last Saturday PMP hosted our “All Participant Workshop.” Amidst the sleet and freezing rain teens from [...]
PMP has officially started! We have six groups: two in North Adams, two in Pittsfield, one in Lee and, and one court-mandated group. I wish I could be a Peer Mentor for every group! PMP meetings are great because they use acting and improvisation in a safe, non-judgmental environment where everyone can talk about the [...]
