We enjoyed the good acoustics and comfortable seats so much that we rteturned 2 days later to see "The Game", which was was a wonderful musical that we had never heard of. The staging, the costumes, the lighting, the music (live accompaniment) were of Broadway... More

The play "Best of Enemies" was one of the best written and acted play we have seen in a long time. The theater is very intimate with comfortable seating. It was a very wonderful evening! More

Barrington Stage has consistently provided the best productions --Freud's Last Session and Spelling Bee were truly outstanding and "Enemies" was equally or more entertaining and provocative with superb acting and production. We've been totally satisfied at both... More
