Berkshires StorySLAM at the Adams Theater

Don’t miss this special presentation of the Berkshires StorySLAM, a highly anticipated co-production between the Adams Theater and Life Jacket Theatre Company. Following a wildly successful debut last year, we are thrilled to expand this production to two venues for 2026 - The Adams Theater and '62 Center for Theatre & Dance at Williams College.

Come out and cheer for your neighbors as local storytellers from all walks of life take the stage to share raw, hilarious, and deeply moving “stories of failure, missteps, and the beautiful messiness of being human.” It’s an evening dedicated to the power of human connection and the shared experiences that bring our community together.

Note: Both the '62 Center and Adams Theater performances feature the same storyteller lineup performing the same stories, so you can choose the night and location that fits your schedule best!
