WILLIAMSTOWN â All the worldâs a stage, but for Tony Award-winning theater company Williamstown Theatre Festival, its hometown in the Berkshires will become the stage this summer.
After a yearlong hiatus from live, in-person theater because of the coronavirus pandemic, the festival has announced a return to live performances this summer â but instead of performing indoors, in the theaterâs traditional home on the campus of Williams College, at the â62 Center for Theatre & Dance, performances will be held outdoors.
In what is being called âThe 2021 Live Season in Williamstown,â the season will include three productions mounted around Williamstown, including a production at The Clark Art Institute.
Williamstown Festival Will Take the Shows Outside
After a lost live 2020, the theater will stage a musical at a museum’s reflecting pool and an immersive show, all over town, based on real events.
