Barrington Stage Company dedicates Time Flies to our lead sponsor, the late Hal Kramer. Hal, longtime friend of BSC, passed away in June. Hal and his wife, Joan, volunteered with us for many years, and Hal made a donation in her memory to name one of the Blatt entrances after Joan in 2015–16. He was the lead sponsor of The Chinese Lady, an experience he relished — bonding with the cast and traveling to New York for the show's opening. Hal is survived by his two children: Hal Kramer Jr. and wife Donna; Randy Kramer and wife Karen, three grandchildren, and his companion Barbara Allardyce. Hal enjoyed skiing, cycling, restoring and driving his MG's, attending MG Car Association gatherings, world travel and working on model trains.

UP NEXT ON THE ST. GERMAIN STAGE

A powerful tale of a Jewish-American family and a culture at odds with itself. Three siblings reunite to celebrate their father’s 75th birthday. As long-held secrets bubble to the surface, they negotiate — with biting humor and razor-sharp insight — how much of the past they’re willing to sacrifice for a chance at a new beginning.

AUGUST 9–31BOYD-QUINSON MAINSTAGE

Boulders, buildings and the occasional bartender are being swallowed into the ground due to fracking. And that’s only the beginning…From the creator of Pool Boy comes Fall Springs, an irreverent, funny and relevant new musical. The town of Fall Springs is cash-strapped but sits directly on top of America’s largest reserve of cosmetic essential oils. It has big dreams but at what cost? With new fracking techniques being recklessly implemented, the ground beneath Fall Springs is crumbling. “The show is exhilarating, refreshing, hilarious and moving all at once.” –Ars Nova
