Reviews of Jacob's Pillow
"Tranquil and inspiring cultural (dance) centre. Giving space and support to a variety of performing dancers. Beautiful nature surrounding the complex of (historical) buildings"
"I have enjoyed many free events here such as community day, free fridays, pillow talks, and pay what you want performances. I’ve also enjoyed the ticketed performances. Blessed to live only 20 minutes away! It’s very inspirational venue for your artistic palate! Parking plentiful and grounds are beautifully maintained."
"Went to Community Day with our almost 8 yr old granddaughter. This was her 3rd time going this summer. She liked this the best. Lots of fun things to do including crafts, painting and getting her face painted, 2 donkeys to pet and the highlight, Cooper, the dancing llama."
"Dutch ballet at Jacobs Pillow yesterday was very impressive. Choreography was impeccable - exceeded all expectations. Jacobs Pillow is one of my favorites in Berkshiers, parking is well organized, ticketing is easy, and the public is welcoming performers, always. One can find something really outstanding each summer there. I think that Jacobs Pillow is a heartbeat of dance in the USA."
"Jacob's Pillow, where do I even start? What a stunning venue for the dance festival and weddings alike. I photographed a wedding here last Fall and savored every nook and cranny of the property. There are stunning views of the Berkshire mountains and so many types of buildings to use as backdrops for wedding couples. Not only was it a pleasure working with Jacob's Pillow for the wedding, but I delight in taking my family to see performances every summer. The whole environment is extremely special, so much so that it's remarkable qualities radiate out of the landscape and the people alike. I can't wait to go back!"
