Thank you for considering a tax-deductible gift to Williamstown Theatre Festival. Your generosity fuels our ability to create the extraordinary works of theatre that have become our trademark over the last 55 years. And there’s so much more to the WTF than just what you see on stage. As a donor, you'll also be supporting education programs like the Greylock Theatre Project and the WTF Apprentice program, the nation's premiere training ground for the next generation of theatre artists. Moreover, you'll be strengthening an institution that creates jobs and generates critical and significant economic activity in Berkshire County.

In recognition of your generosity, we honor you with a host of benefits and privileges exclusively for donors, from priority ticket handling and opportunities to go behind-the-scenes to invitations to special donor events. Peruse the giving levels below and make a gift today!
