SUMMARY:BEATrio: Béla Fleck\, Edmar Castañeda & Antonio Sánchez
DESCRIPTION:To be sure\, the new all-star trio of Béla Fleck\, harpist Edmar Castañeda and drummer Antonio Sánchez features instrumentation that might safely be called uncommon. Unless\, of course\, you’re already familiar with 19-time Grammy-winner Fleck – the genre-blurring virtuoso who has done more to expand the possibilities of the banjo than any other player in the instrument’s history. From his bluegrass beginnings through his otherworldly Flecktones\, his duo with Chick Corea and his reimagining of ‘Rhapsody in Blue\,’ Fleck’s work never fails to surprise. What doesn’t surprise is the impeccable caliber of his collaborators – and this new trio includes two of the most gifted musicians of their generation.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare & Company announces the 2026 Gala
DESCRIPTION:Gala 2026 on Friday\, June 26 unfolds between order and enchantment—where integrity meets absurdity. Inspired by Hamlet and Twelfth Night\, we will explore the space between clarity and chaos\, reason and emotion\, truth and illusion. \nThe moon guides us as a symbol of change\, longing\, and possibility\, while moments of “madness” reveal something honest and human beneath the surface. Like theater itself\, the evening will balance craft and imagination\, structure and surprise. We invite you to dine and dance under a celestial sky—midnight hues\, constellations of light\, shimmering metallics\, warm candlelight\, and a hint of cosmic drama. \nThe evening begins at 4:30 pm with cocktails under the festive Tina Packer Tents\, followed by a special performance tribute in the Tina Packer Playhouse\, dinner by Peter Platt of The Old Inn on the Green in the elegant Rose Meadow Tent\, and dancing beneath the stars. Proceeds benefit Shakespeare & Company‘s Center for Actor Training\, Education Program\, and Performances. For more information\, write to Director of Development Sunie Gorey at sgorey@shakespeare.org\, or call 413.637.1199 ext.180. As a Gala benefactor\, you and your guests will receive priority seating for both the performance and dinner. Those who respond by June 12 will be recognized in our print and digital Gala materials\, including the Commemorative Gala Program. \nSeating is limited\, and the Gala traditionally sells out.   \nDid You Know?\nDonor Advised Funds (DAFs) are a wonderful\, tax-smart way to support Shakespeare & Company. For our Gala\, DAF grants can be directed toward the Paddle Raise or given as a fully charitable donation. Because of IRS rules\, DAF grants cannot be used to purchase tickets or tables or to pay for any portion that provides a benefit (like event attendance or meals). DAF gifts must be entirely charitable and cannot provide more than an incidental benefit—directly or indirectly—to the donor or their guests. The prohibition on indirect benefits also means DAF grants generally can’t be used for the “charitable portion” of a ticket even if you pay the benefits portion separately\, also known as a “bifurcated payment.” IRS Notice 2017-73\, Section 3 covers this in more detail. If you’re considering using a DAF and have questions about how to structure your support\, our Development team is always happy to help.

SUMMARY:Straight No Chaser
DESCRIPTION:If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers\, ties\, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses… think again. Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced\, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fanbase and a long list of accomplishments including 2 RIAA Gold Certified albums\, over 1.5 million concert tickets sold\, over 1 billion streams on Pandora\, and over 2 million albums sold worldwide. Straight No Chaser is the real deal\, the captivating sound of nine unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense… and with a sense of humor.

SUMMARY:Met Opera Live in HD: “El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego”
DESCRIPTION:The Metropolitan Opera’s 2025–26 Live in HD season comes to a close with American composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s first opera\, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico’s painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera\, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Nilo Cruz.

SUMMARY:Better Than Ezra
DESCRIPTION:Songs\, albums\, live performances — some are simply timeless. From their early roots\, circa 1988\, playing house parties at Louisiana State University\, Better Than Ezra have made their mark on the music world in a major way. Yes\, the New Orleans quartet\, founded by Kevin Griffin (lead vocals\, guitar\, piano) and Tom Drummond (bass\, backing vocals)\, who unleash hummable melodies\, unshakable guitar riffs\, and confessional lyrics\, have stood the test of time — from 1995’s number one hit “Good” all the way to Taylor Swift’s famous 2010 cover of the Better Than Ezra classic “Breathless.” And they’re still going strong: in May 2024\, the band released their long-anticipated tenth studio album “Super Magick” via Round Hill Records. Named one of the “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time” by “Billboard\,” with a legacy that includes inspiring a classic “Saturday Night Live” skit\, Better Than Ezra spent 2024 on the road touring their headline “Live a Little Tour” in the spring and continuing through the year\, recently wrapping their “Legends of the Fall: Tokyo Drift Tour.”

SUMMARY:Met Opera Live in HD: Bellini’s “I Puritani”
DESCRIPTION:For gorgeous melody\, spellbinding coloratura\, and virtuoso vocal fireworks\, ‘I Puritani’ has few equals.
