Berkshire Theatre Group will open its 90th season with Jason Odell Williams's play Church & State, running June 14-30 at the Unicorn Theatre, with opening night set for June 16.

Church & State is described as a "fast-paced, seriously funny take on faith, politics, and 'The Twitter.' It's three days before Charles Whitmore's Senate reelection, and he's decided to finally tell the public exactly what's on his mind, no filter. What could possibly go wrong?"

The play made its world premiere in Los Angeles in 2016 before premiering off-Broadway at New World Stages in 2017.

Charlotte Cohn will direct a cast that includes Judy Jerome (Two by Tennessee), Keira Naughton (The Rivals), Graham Rowat (Meteor Shower), and Andy Talen (The Tempest).
