Shakespeare & Company
The Comedy of Errors
70 Kemble Street, Lenox, MA
STABLES THEATRE
"I see by you I am a sweet-fac'd youth."
Shakespeare spoke and played to everyone: royalty, business people, the fun-loving groundlings. And in his earliest comic masterpiece, he made sure everyone's funny-bone got goosed.

When Antipholus and his servant Dromio arrive in Ephesus, mistaken identity is carried to outlandish extremes when the town confuses them for their identical native twins, who of course have identical names. Separated at birth on the high seas, neither pair knows the other exists, and neither knows the parental keys that could unlock their vaudevillian mystery. Only the audience holds the answer, and even that features a twist of identity!

Impression: Painting Quickly in France, 1860-1890
Williamstown, MA
Eighty paintings by Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Berthe Morisot, and Alfred Sisley are at the center of this exhibition exploring the complex working methods of the Impressionists. Unlike most Impressionist paintings, which were actually done in the studio, the works in this exhibition were painted quickly and are in fact among the true "Impressions" that gave the movement its name. Works by Van Gogh as well as by some early and mid-nineteenth century artists will also be included. Guest curator Richard Brettell, well known for his studies on Pissarro and Gauguin, has also written the catalogue, which is published by Yale University Press. The exhibition is organized by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in association with The National Gallery, London, and the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.

Timed-entry tickets are required and are available by calling our toll-free number at 1-866-THE CLARK. Advance ticket sales will also be available at the Clark Art Institute beginning April 1.

When Ruskin invites his protégé, the Pre-Raphaelite painter, John Everett Millais, to join him and Effie on a holiday in Scotland, what transpires is a sensational Victorian love triangle that rocks London society!

Wharton One-Acts
70 Kemble Street, Lenox, MA
SPRING LAWN THEATRE
AN INTERNATIONAL EPISODE
the World Premiere adapted from Henry James
by Dennis Krausnick
Henry James' tale of courtship between wealthy American girls and titled English aristocracy sparkles with a wit so wicked that both sides of the Atlantic find themselves lampooned. The peculiar, forthright habits of young American "colonials" are contrasted with those of their English counterparts, a people so reticent that the Americans wonder how they could be capable of building an empire. Love is only the excuse in this across-the-pond courtship: the real subject is the mating dance between American customs and European manners.

THE REMBRANDT
the World Premiere adapted from Edith Wharton
by Alison Ragland
When museum curator Miles Hackett over-values an alarmingly unfortunate work of art so that its destitute owner might escape starvation, philanthropy is revealed to have a double-edged sword. Wharton's lightning-quick and amusing short story makes a scathing double-bill with Mr. James' tale, mirroring what must have been the tenor of their conversations in Lenox nearly 100 years ago.

Please join us for the grand opening of the new Spring Lawn Theatre on Friday, July 6 at 8pm.
Tina Packer and the company will host a reception and house tours around a special performance of The Wharton One-Acts.
Tickets are $100 each. Seating is very limited. Call Karen Secular for details and to reserve your seats at 413-637-1199 x113.

Celebrating 75 Years -- A Wall Drawing by Sol Lewitt
To launch its 75th anniversary year, the Williams College Museum of Art invited renowned, conceptual artist Sol LeWitt to create a wall drawing for the museum's atrium. Consistent with the artist's belief that the concept and not the execution is the most important aspect of a work of art, a representative from his studio along with three Williams College students created the 33-foot high painting according to a set of LeWitt's site-specific plans. For two weeks in January 2001 visitors watched Uneven Bands from the Upper Right Corner take form from beginning stages to finished work. The completed wall drawing in red, blue, yellow, purple, green, and orange is on view through December 2001.

Buggy Whip Factory
Buggy Whip Factory opens historic exhibit
Southfield, MA
The museum, free and open to the public, is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Thursday through Monday. It will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday until May 1.

The Buggy Whip Factory, a 20,000- square-foot complex in the Southfield section of the town now occupied by about 60 antiques dealers and craftsmen, has opened a permanent historic exhibition to honor and document the "whip shop's" 200 years of achievement.

The Turner & Cook Whip Manufactory got its start in 1791 as a small tanning operation. It grew into a large enterprise at its present site, specializing first in rawhide whip cores. Then, as the demand for buggy whips faded, belt pins and rawhide mallets became the focus until the shop ceased operation.
