LENOX — Shakespeare & Company Artistic Director Allyn Burrows is determined to shake things up this summer with two world premieres; one regional premiere; two major outdoor productions — one of which is described as “an enhanced staged reading” — and a Shakespeare cabaret.
The cabaret, “Shake It Up: A Shakespeare Cabaret,” is set for July 2-7 in the Tina Packer Playhouse, which will be transformed into a full cabaret setting. The show is being put together by Burrows and stage and film actor Jacob Ming-Trent, who played Bottom in last summer’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
