About the event
Under a Special Project grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC), professional storyteller and Pittsfield native Mary Jo Maichack will read from a selection of famous Berkshire writers' reflections on the Berkshires landscape. She invites you to listen and if you like, share in your own words (spoken or written) your connection to this landscape, how it makes you feel...memories. Also new readings Feb. 21 and March 20. The goal is for us to enjoy and connect with each other and to this beautiful place. Free--no ticket is actually necessary! Just come as you are!
