What an unforgettable evening!
The Berkshire Benefit Concert brought the incomparable Idina Menzel to The Colonial Theatre for a spectacular night in support of Berkshire Theatre Group and Barrington Stage Company.
One especially magical moment came when Izzy Brown, a member of BTG’s education program, BTG PLAYS!, won the opportunity during the live auction to join Idina onstage for a duet and absolutely brought down the house!
Thank you to Idina, our extraordinary artists, sponsors, donors and everyone who joined us for a beautiful celebration of music, theatre and the Berkshire arts community. Take a look at some of our favorite moments from the evening!

Everyone at BTG is sad to learn of the passing of Easton Martin, a recent Taconic High School graduate who had a deep passion for music. We had the pleasure of having Easton join us in the chorus in several productions, including Lion King JR. (2018), A Christmas Carol (2018) and Willy Wonka KIDS (2019), and he will be deeply missed.
