We head to the Berkshires, where literal hundred of high school kids are immersing themselves in the bard. The Fall Festival of Shakespeare has just opened, and we’ll speak with some of the folx involved about the beginnings of the festival over 3 decades ago, the lessons that theater can teach, and more with Education Programs Manager Meg Marchione and Director of Education Kevin Coleman

And we’ll hear from a band that is all grown up now with a new album headed our way. Lux Deluxe releases their new album next week capped with a release show at the Iron Horse. The Band makes a stop to the studios for Live Music Friday to show off how their sound has evolved over the years. 

And it is the season of the new, even though everything is dying outside. It is officially Beaujolais season. We have a tricksy tasting of this years freshest varietal with Ben and Mary Daire at Dare Bottleshop & Provisions in Lenox.
