A Bold New Chapter

We believe theatre can be antidote to an increasingly isolated and lonely world, an art form that naturally gathers us in community through a shared experience.
We have shaped American theatre for decades and for decades, like that of many other non-profit arts organizations, our model was financially unsustainable. And so, we needed a bold plan for the future.
By 2032, Williamstown Theatre Festival aims to engage 1 million people around the world each year—from working artists to self-identified “theatre kids” to anyone who loves creativity, storytelling, live performance, and being in community.
