Who We Are

Each summer in the Berkshires we come together to create a temporary society with premier performances, intimate happenings, and immersive experiences. We bring together audience members, emerging and professional artists working in all art forms, and our team, to collaboratively champion freedom of expression, expand the definition of theatre and advance its essential role in the world.

Over the last 70 years, more than 75 works have transferred from the Festival to theatres and screens around the world. Today, Williamstown Theatre Festival continues to be a fertile, creative hothouse for writers, directors, actors, designers, and theatre professionals of all backgrounds.
