The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center

Beryl Jolly and her many "friends" decide the programming.

The beautifully restored Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center under the direction of Beryl Jolly (pictured above) is about as perfect a venue you can find in the Berkshires. Comfortable, with great sight lines and acousics and a state of the art stage, it beckens even those of us in North County to its intimate surroundings.

TIP: Friends of the Mahaiwe receive special discounts and benefits that are now available online. Membership begins at $65 and all Friends receive priority ordering for first access to the best seats and discounts on tickets to most Mahaiwe Presents events throughout the year. To join, call the Mahaiwe Box Office: 413.528.0100, or visit www.mahaiwe.org.
