CULTURE + EDUCATION: JACOB’S PILLOW GOES VIRTUAL

Jacob’s Pillow in Becket Massachusetts, for those that don’t know, is a dance performance school and stage space with the oldest internationally acclaimed summer dance festival in the US. In 2003, Jacob’s Pillow was listed as a National Historic Landmark District. This is all good.

This last November, the theatre itself was destroyed in a fire. This is all bad.

But we’re here to remind you that from the ashes rises hope and spring renewal, and with COVID still in place it’s tough to keep the performances going.

Enter the Virtual Pillow.

The virtual setting for Jacob’s Pillow – from dance to music to thespianism and art of all kinds – has been in place for a bit.

But first, Jacob’s Pillow.
