2026 ArtsAlive! at CHESTERWOOD
An Evening of Ten Minute Plays: Presented by Great Barrington Public Theater
Ten-Minute Plays are a unique theatrical form; a complete story, a whole world conjured by a writer, spinning out in ten short minutes. Great Barrington Public Theater brings six very different short play readings by 5 talented Berkshire writers to Chesterwood for a delightful evening of comedy, song and a few wildcards (Members: $27, Non-members: $30).
*Please Note: This event will be held at Chesterwood, NOT Saint James Place.
