Wharton on Wednesday returns for a five-month run! Join us at the Terrace Café on the first Wednesday of the month, June-October, to hear quintessential Edith Wharton short stories brought to life by local actors. Arrive early to enjoy refreshments from the Café, open 4:00 – 5:30 pm.

In August, Anne Undeland reads “The Rembrandt,” a story highlighting the societal pressures and the sometimes-artificial structures within upper class New York at the turn of the twentieth century.

Anne Undeland is a theater artist who has worked throughout the Northeast. In addition to acting, Anne has developed living history programs, run oral history projects, narrated audiobooks, puppeteered, and played roles in productions for BBC radio and WBUR/Boston. Lately she’s branched out into playwriting; her most recent play, Wharton Between the Sheets, was produced by Great Barrington Public Theater, Boston’s Gloucester Stage, and the Middlebury Acting Company. Her newest work, Madame Mozart, makes its debut at Great Barrington Public Theater, July 2025!
