Lauren Ambrose

Lauren Ambrose, acclaimed Six Feet Under actress, star in the 2018 Broadway production of My Fair Lady, and singer in the jazzy, rootsy musical group The Leisure Class that performs locally, plays leading roles behind the scenes throughout the Berkshires. She helps to raise money—and members— for Tanglewood (where she spent many summers studying), participated in Berkshire’s United Way COVID-19 Fund Helpathon, and hosted Boston University Tanglewood Institute’s 50th anniversary. This year’s Berkshire 25 panel member Kate Maguire, who is also artistic director for Berkshire Theatre Group, comments about Ambrose, “love her for her care for the Berkshires.”
