Silverthorne Theater Company presents the first mainstage production of our 2025 summer season, Jordan Harrison’s The Amateurs. Directed by Gina Kaufmann, performances will take place at the Mainstage Theater at Hampshire College in Amherst, from June 13th – 22nd.

In this Pulitzer Prize finalist, a rag-tag theater troupe races across medieval Europe, struggling to outrun the Black Death. Their performances of crowd-pleasers such as “The Seven Deadly Sins” and “Noah’s Ark” are juxtaposed with witty, contemporary-feeling relationships, surprising sexual attractions and status games. The Amateurs examines the value of art and creativity in the face of an epic crisis.

Starring Sabine Denise Jacques, Caleb Koval, Gabe Levey, Sam Samuels*, Mayte Sarmiento, and Patrick Toole.

This production is made possible by the generous support of the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts, the Mass Cultural Council and the Amherst Cultural Council, Pelham Cultural Council, Hadley Cultural Council, and South Hadley Cultural Council, local agencies which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
