Lauren Ambrose, Richard Benjamin, Kate Burton, and Paula Prentiss will participate in Love & Will, a four-part gala for Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Massachusetts on Saturday, October 7.

The event will begin with an afternoon cocktail reception followed by a performance of Love & Will, a compilation of Shakespeare's poetry and prose with songs by Cole Porter, written by Gordon Hyatt, directed by Tina Packer, and starring Ambrose, Benjamin, Burton, and Prentiss. The show will be followed by a live auction and several privately hosted dinners throughout the Berkshires.

Ambrose, who starred on Broadway last season in Awake and Sing!, is best known for her role of Claire Fisher on Six Feet Under. Benjamin, a well known film actor and director, has appeared on Broadway in The Star Spangled Girl and The Norman Conquests. Burton is a two-time Tony Award nominee for Hedda Gabler and The Elephant Man, and was a 2006 Emmy Award nominee for Grey's Anatomy. Prentiss, who is married to Benjamin, starred with her husband in The Norman Conquests; her many films include The Stepford Wives and Where the Boys Are.

Tickets to the gala range in price from $125 to $1000 and can be ordered by calling 413-637-1199, ext.105. For more information, visit www.shakespeare.org.
