It was great. The theater has recently been renovated, all the seating gives a good view of the stage, and the offerings are excellent.
This is one of the nicest venues in Berkshire County. It is intimate and gives a good view of the stage from all seats. It is a great place to see a concert, play or to view an old movie. They are doing an excellent job of providing all sorts of entertainment and holding on to the feel of the old theater.
I don't know what me so long to get to this venue, but I sure am glad I finally made it! What a beautiful little theater! It is very small and intimate; smaller than the Bardavon in Poughkeepsie. That is a good thing because it makes all seats good seats. The seats were comfortable enough and there is a wide range of entertainment. Something for everyone. I can't wait to go back.
In the past month we've enjoyed an evening jazz concert (Dianne Reeves) , an evening classical music concert (Mozart from the Close Encounters with Music series )and two Saturday afternoon Met Opera in HD transmissions. Eagerly awaiting the NT live transmission of Skylight. We all can't thank Lola and Ed Jaffe enough for spearheading the creation of this wonderful community resource. The programming offers something for everyone. It has transformed what once was the off-season - now we have cultural happenings year round. Having Castle Street Cafe next door to provide before and after meals and even intermission snacks for some performances - priceless.
I have attended many wonderful events at the Mahaiwe. There is not a bad seat in the house and it is around the corner from lots of fabulous restaurants, shopping and other interesting experiences. You might want to leave a bit early for very popular events as parking can be tough sometimes.
I always enjoy going to a show at the Mahaiwe. I don't think that there is a bad seat in the house, and the acoustics are great. They have many wonderful offerings for all tastes. Truly a gem.
The concert was so enjoyable and the musicians were extremelywell trained.Excellent selection of music and a wonderful time to welcome in the New Year!
Fantastic way to see live metropolitan opera performances, plus interviews with the stars Take a peek backstage, see the set changes, and costumes. Great seating, sound, and price. Sure beats the hassle of going into Manhattan, fighting traffic, crowds and paying high prices. This is a true joy!
Our first time to this venue and would definitely be back. We attended a free children's event introducing kids to silent movies and live vaudeville theater. The show by circustheatrics.com was wonderful. The main actor had the most wonderful personality and was great with the kids. After the show, the kids were able to learn some of the tricks, such as rhythm sticks and balancing a feather. Thanks so much Mahaiwe for offering this wonderful afternoon for our family!
A great venue to see a concert. The seating is great and the restored theatre is absolutely divine. Great Barrnigton is lucky to have such a wonderful venue which entertains us year round.
