Climb and perform from trees! in the cold! In the rain! In the heat! Do ecstatic meditative dances! Puppets! dabble in some circus and gymnastics! Mythologies! Surrounded by nature! This years spectacle included a lot of animal characters... and then when they were making their animal sounds and gestures a real bird like... joined them and was singing and bopping around on the cut trees floating in the pond. It was surprising and very beautiful. Their shows are just so damn exciting and they just are seemingly unafraid. I loved both Summer spectacles that I've seen. They also collaborate with other groups and sometimes let other groups preview work on their farm. We were lucky to see the Hinterlands preview their "Will you miss me when I'm gone" piece there. If you have to travel to see them (and it's pretty worth it). Make plans for food. Do not wait until after the show. There is nothing nearby, and the restaurants might be closed once you get to Turners Falls (the next town). Eat before the show. There aren't a lot of hotels, but apparently there are a number of air bnb's around. Do yourself a favor - also buy your tickets well in advance. They sell out.

How on earth has no one reviewed Double Edge yet?!?!?…read more I have been to the last two summer show cases (The Firebird and the Odyssey) both of which were FANTASTIC! The shows run rain or shine during the summer in the evenings. Both times I've gone it's been a little drizzly, but not too bad. It's okay to bring an umbrella as long as you don't block other audience members with it. I really enjoy the fact that the summer showcases use different areas and building on the farm. The shows are very interactive and use some VERY cool tricks. The actors run and jump and climb and swing. I HIGHLY recommend going to see one of the summer showcases

I was tired and hungry and a bit antsy from sitting in the car so long, and our toddler was in the same mood. So imagine our surprise when we arrived and found goats to pet and feed, a bouncehouse to play in, wood fired pizza for sale, a blues-duo playing classic blues standards, and lots of places to sit down and relax. It was just what we needed. It looks like they had other fun fall activities available as well.

We went today- the weekend before Halloween - and brought the kids in their Halloween costumes. So much fun! This will definitely be a fall favorite from now on! The maze is big enough that even if it were packed, you'd still have plenty of space. We could hear other families around us but didn't cross paths with other people often as we wandered the maze.
