The Berkshire Playwrights Lab

The Berkshire Playwrights Lab, a new theater company in the Berkshires, will kick off its inaugural season of staged readings of new plays on Wednesday, June 25th at 8:00 pm, at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Included in the evening of one-act plays will be a new play from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, David Mamet, written specifically for the Berkshire Playwrights Lab.

Lab co-founder Jim Frangione, a longtime collaborator and actor in Mamet's plays and films, says, "David signed on to help because he believes in what we're doing - starting a developmental forum for new plays here in the Berkshires." Mamet also worked with Berkshire Playwrights Lab co-founder Joe Cacaci, who produced Mamet's Obie-winning play Edmond at the Provincetown Playhouse, in Greenwich Village.

Berkshire Playwrights Lab is the artistic collaboration of founders Jim Frangione, Joe Cacaci, and Bob Jaffe, all established theater professionals, and Managing Director, Claudia Crane.

The Berkshire Playwrights Lab is dedicated to encouraging, developing, and presenting new plays. Through readings, workshops, and fully staged productions,the Lab will provide emerging and established writers with a professional and creative environment, while offering audiences the unique and provocative opportunity to share in the dramatic evolution of premiere works.

Berkshire Playwrights Lab performances are scheduled for Wednesdays at 8:00 pm on June 25, July 16, July 30, August 13, and August 27.
