Dan’s Diary: Cultural Border Crossings
In case you hadn’t noticed, one of our goals here at Rural Intelligence is to get you to cross county lines and ignore state boundaries. It’s eaiser said than done. For many people, it’s not just psychology that gets in the way but also the driving which can be stressful at night. So we applaud two arts groups— Crescendo Berkshires (rehearsing left) and the Aglet Theatre Company—that are reaching out by holding back-to-back performances in both Litchfield and Berkshire counties this month. The Crescendo Chorus will mark the 200th birthday of Felix Mendelssohn with recitals on March 21 at 7:30 PM at the First Congregational Church in Great Barrington, MA, and will repeat the program on March 22 at 4 PM at Trinity Episcopal Church in Lime Rock, CT. The Aglet Theatre, which was founded a few years ago by Macey Levin and Gloria Miller as a salon at the Chaiwalla tea room in Salisbury, performs plays and staged readings from fall to spring, On March 21, Aglet will present a staged reading of Amy’s View by David Hare at the Bok Galley at TriArts in Sharon, CT; on March 28, it will present Amy’s View at Berkshire Theatre Festival‘s Unicorn Theatre. We love that these groups make culture more convenient.
