FALLS VILLAGE — The Berkshire Resilience Brass Band came to the David M. Hunt Library Thursday evening, July 17, and played for an audience of about 30 people under the trees on the library lawn.

The lineup is somewhat variable, but on this occasion the band was: Charlie Kiel, trombonium, Paul Uhry Newman, percussion, Sam Earnshaw, percussion, Eric Loffswold, baritone sax, Dathalinn O’Dea, alto sax, David Rogers, tenor sax, and the father and son trumpet team of Shamu and Lev Sadeh.

Nancy Cunningham Hodgkins organized the show. She said she received a grant from the Born to Groove fund (managed by the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation) to provide music to day care centers, libraries and special events.

“This is the first,” Cunningham said.

Anyone willing to shake a leg could win a $50 gift certificate for music lessons.

Hodgkins said anyone interested in hosting a similar event can call 860-248-0803.

While playing outside in the early post-pandemic days, Berkshire Busk! founder Eugene Carr had an epiphany: why not expand the idea of performing on the street (aka busking)into a full-fledged festival in Great Barrington?

As an entrepreneur and cellist, Carr envisioned a well-organized jamboree featuring regional talent, including musicians, acrobats, storytellers, fire-eaters, and more. He formed a team, connected with local businesses and the town of Great Barrington, and launched Berkshire Busk! in 2021. Since then, Berkshire Busk! has grown into a summer staple for Great Barrington.

What if the dog onstage was played by a person? That’s the delightful twist in A.R. Gurney’s “Sylvia,” opening at the Sharon Playhouse on Aug. 29. In this clever and heartfelt comedy, the title character — a stray pup who disrupts the lives of a married couple — is portrayed not in costume but by an actor who brings insight, charm, and chaos to the role.

Stepping into Sylvia’s paws is Jen Cody, who is returning to the Sharon Playhouse in a starring role for her third year in a row, ready to bring this spirited dog to life. She’s joined by Jonathan Walker as Greg, the middle-aged man smitten with his new four-legged friend, and Jennifer Van Dyck as Kate, his wife, whose patience and identity are tested by Sylvia’s sudden presence in their home.
