Why: The Pittsfield-based Barrington Stage Company will be holding an all-star benefit reading of a new work on August 22 at 7:30, with proceeds going to the Massachusetts troupe and the Actors Fund. For a donation of $35 or more, you will gain access to the live reading, which features Jason Alexander, Patti LuPone, Santino Fontana, Michael McKean, Loretta Devine, Josh Johnston, Bianca LaVerne Jones, Julian Emile Lerner, Justina Machado, Carol Mansell, Michael Mastro, and Elizabeth Stanley in Rob Ulin’s Judgment Day, directed by Matthew Penn. A near-death experience results in a lawyer (Alexander) examining himself and his faith as questions of morality take center stage. “Judgment Day is the perfect panacea for today’s world — a smart, funny play with a brilliant cast; the play gives us an opportunity to laugh out loud — something we’ve had little opportunity to do recently,” Barrington founder and artistic director Julianne Boyd said in a statement. The link will be available for viewing through August 25.
