Stockbridge Casino, Historic theater venue in Stockbridge, United States.
Stockbridge Casino is a historic theater building featuring a two-story wooden structure with a hip roof, cupola, and a three-bay facade with rounded second-floor windows. The venue sits on East Main Street and functions today as a performance space.
Renowned architect Stanford White designed the building in 1887 as a community gathering place. After being relocated in 1927, it reopened in 1928 as the Berkshire Playhouse for theatrical performances.
The building began as a gathering place for the community and later evolved into a performance space. Today visitors come to watch shows and participate in the region's arts activity.
The venue operates from June through October with performances scheduled most evenings. Plan to arrive early to explore the space and find good seating before shows begin.
Mable Choate sold the building to the Three Arts Society for just one dollar in 1927, on the condition it would be moved from its original site. This unusual arrangement allowed the structure to be preserved and repurposed as a theater.
