SUMMARY:Sailing Towards My Father
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT! \nThe Berkshire County Historical Society presents Sailing Towards My Father\, a one-man play about Herman Melville performed by Stephen Collins and written and directed by Carl A. Rossi. The play chronicles Melville’s life from youth to old age\, concentrating on his evolution as a writer and his complex relationship with God; his parents and siblings; his wife and children; and Nathaniel Hawthorne. The performance takes place at Herman Melville’s historic home Arrowhead at 5:30 pm.  \nAbout Stephen Collins\nStephen Collins grew up in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, and received a BA in Literature from the University of Massachusetts\, Boston. After over twenty years in a sales career\, he is currently doing what he truly loves – performing and teaching. He teaches seminars on Walt Whitman\,Thomas Hardy\, William Shakespeare\, Robert Frost\, and Contemporary Poetry. He also performs in one-man plays by Carl A. Rossi. In addition to Sailing Towards my Father\, he performs as James Abbott McNeill Whistler in Butterfly. Collins also works as a professionally licensed tour guide narrating historical tours of Boston. His Walt Whitman performances have taken him all over the country. He now has eight one-man shows and seven courses where his teaching style has been described as a hybrid between lecture and performance. \nTickets are $15 for BCHS members\, $20 for non-members and can be purchased by using the BOOK NOW button.
