BCC to Hold Auditions for 'A Winter's Tale' 10:52AM / Sunday, August 10, 2025 | |
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Berkshire Community College Players will hold auditions for its fall show, Shakespeare's "A Winter's Tale," on Thursday, Sept. 18 and Friday, Sept. 19 from 6:30-9 p.m.
Auditions will be held in the Boland Theatre on BCC's main campus, located at 1350 West Street, Pittsfield.
According to a press release:
"A Winter's Tale," written in the early 1600s, is the classic story of jealousy, redemption, and the passage of time. Set in Sicilia, the play begins with King Leontes wrongly accusing his wife Hermione of infidelity with his childhood friend and Bohemian king, Polixenes. Possessed with jealousy and filled with rage, Leontes orders his loyal retainer, Camillo, to poison Polixenes. Instead, Camillo warns Polixenes of the plan, and the two men flee. What follows is a tale of betrayal, hardship, tragedy and eventual reconciliation.
The BCC Players performance is directed by Grace Kelley, theatre building supervisor for the College. Information on showtimes and ticket sales will be announced at a later date.
