(PITTSFIELD, Mass.) – Stephen Sondheim’s award-winning 1973 musical, “A Little Night Music” – inspired by the Ingmar Bergman film “Smiles of a Summer Night” and taking its name from Mozart’s Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major, “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” – opens the 2014 Berkshire Theatre Group season at the Colonial Theatre, running from Monday, June 30, 2014, through Saturday, July 19. The musical, whose best-known song is “Send in the Clowns,” stars four-time Tony Award nominee and Drama Desk Award winner Gregg Edelman, Emmy Award winner and two-time Tony Award nominee Penny Fuller, Tony Award and Drama Desk nominee Kate Baldwin, internationally-acclaimed vocalist and actress Maureen O’Flynn, and Broadway and television actor Graham Rowat.

“A Little Night Music” offers an amusing and farcical tale of unexpected liaisons, relentless desire, and ill-fated heartbreak in the life of acclaimed actress, Desiree Armfeldt. One eventful weekend, Desiree, her former beau and his wife, and Desiree’s current lover and his wife all arrive at a Swedish country estate. Long-held passions are soon rekindled in this classic waltz of a musical, directed by Ethan Heard, who also directed BTG’s 2013 hit murder mystery, “The Cat and The Canary.”

Tickets may be purchased in person at the Colonial Ticket Office at 111 South Street, Pittsfield or by calling (413) 997-4444 or online at Berkshire Theatre Group. All plays, schedules, casting and prices are subject to change.
