We’re delighted that Brook Farm Inn is mentioned by Francine Segan on this terrific website magazine in an article entitled “Summer Breakfasts — Perfect for a Sunday Brunch.”  http://www.bettyconfidential.com/cbc/food-home.html  Francine is a food historian and cookbook author who’s written about us in the past.  She is also a noted presenter, who was at Shakespeare & Co. last night, and our guests who attended raved about her.  We’ve enjoyed Francine’s presentations about food and movies, and also food in Shakespeare’s time. We highly recommend her cookbooks!

Ooh La La! Paris 1890- Unlaced!

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Paris 1890 - Unlaced!  is the title for Ventfort Hall’s summer theater.  Ventfort Hall, here in Lenox just a few minutes’ walk from Brook Farm Inn, is also known as the Museum of the Gilded Age.  This mansion is a great setting for the one-woman show, which provides a humorous yet poignant glimpse into Parisian society of the Belle Epoque.  Anne Undeland plays five different women, in an intriguing mystery.

First Class Millay Opens June 16th

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Glenora Richards  is a miniaturist who painted a sizzling miniature portrait of Edna St. Vincent Millay, which was adapted into a postage stamp.  At Steepletop (Millay’s home in the Berkshires), beginning June 16th you can view  an exhibit which explores the art of this amazing, 100- year old woman.  The exhibit will run through September, and will include some special materials from the Postal Service Archives in addition to the original painting, and recordings of Millay reading her own work.  At Brook Farm Inn in Lenox, we had the pleasure of hosting a reading of Millay’s work by Peter Bergman, Executive Director of the Millay Society.  We can’t wait to see the exhibit.

Love, God, Sex, the Meaning of Life

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Did we get your attention?  Barrington Stage Co. got our attention with their ad for this play.  It’s the new two-character play by Mark St. Germain, about C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud.  Freud was about to commit suicide to end his battle with oral cancer, and the play is about big ideas, but also is injected with unexpected humor.  It opens officially on Sunday, but previews begin tonight, so you can see it this weekend at preview prices!  It’s among the many theater and music offerings in the Berkshires that we at Brook Farm Inn are recommending to our guests this weekend.

Brook Farm Inn, in Lenox, Massachusetts, is close to the Mahaiwe Theatre,  and our guests always enjoy the Paul Taylor Company.  See them here on Memorial Day Weekend!
 
Paul Taylor Dance Company
Modern Masterpieces
by Legendary American Choreographer

Saturday May 23 / 8pm
$60 Golden Circle / $50 / $45 Members / $20 Limited Balcony

The Company returns for its annual engagement with a spectacular program of three Taylor masterworks, including Beloved Renegade, hailed by The New York Times as “the best new choreography in 2008.” The evening begins with Funny Papers, a hilarious romp with a score that includes such novelty tunes as “Popeye the Sailor Man” and “Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour (On The Bedpost Overnight).” Next, the legendary Scudorama -newly revived for the first time in almost 40 years - a “dance of death” from 1963 that The New York Observer recently called “a revelation - a blazing declaration of Taylor’s talent.” The program concludes with Beloved Renegade , inspired by the life of Walt Whitman and set to Poulenc’s stirring choral work, Gloria. Following its 2009 New York premiere, The Times called it “a work of philosophic as well as dramatic power. Certainly Beloved Renegade is one of the great achievements of Mr. Taylor’s long career and one of the most eloquently textured feats of his singular imagination.”

Summer dance in the Berkshires begins right here!
