Shakespeare & Company presents an open-captioned performance of Hamlet, featuring the Northeast Regional Tour of Shakespeare. Open captioning features a large projection screen above the stage, displaying the text the actors are reciting via “supertitles.”  These shows are open to all and accessible to Deaf or hard-of-hearing audience members.

“Get ready to have your heart opened WIDE!”

Shakespeare & Company will stage a sensory-friendly performance of Hamlet, presented by the Northeast Regional Tour of Shakespeare, on Saturday, April 25, at 2:30 pm, at the Tina Packer Playhouse.

Sensory-friendly performances have been adapted to be less overwhelming to the senses. They are designed to welcome individuals with various sensory needs, including people who are neurodivergent, those living with cognitive, social, or physical challenges, first-time theatergoers, and others.

Shakespeare & Company’s Gala 2026 will be held at its Lenox campus in the Berkshires of Massachusetts and begins at 4:30 p.m. with a cocktail hour, performance, and dinner and dancing under the stars in the Rose Meadow Tent. Proceeds benefit Shakespeare & Company‘s Center for Actor Training, Education Program, and Performances.

On Sunday, May 31 at 1 pm, Shakespeare & Company will hold a gathering to celebrate Founding Artistic Director Tina Packer’s remarkable life and lasting impact. This celebration of life will be open to the community, to allow everyone to remember a powerhouse on and off stage in the Berkshires and the world.

The Plays in Process series returns for its fifth year, showcasing new, developing works and offering a behind-the-scenes look at scripts as they are readied for the stage.

Following its successful debut in 2025, Shakespeare & Company welcomes back Celebrating Jewish Plays, an immersive theater experience featuring three plays presented over three evenings during the holiday weekend.
