Setting a New Stage

“The Annex” is a new Festival venue in the North Adams Gateway Center, located at 245 State Road in North Adams, MA. We are converting a former Rent-A-Center into a flexible performance space for an intimate, non-traditional theatre experience. For W71, it will be home to four core productions.

Above is a behind-the-scenes shot that Production Director Adrian White took a week ago as the Williamstown Production team and our friends at Moresi & Associates and Hill Engineers start to renovate the space.

This summer, Heartbeat Opera’s production of Vanessa, Monica Bill Barnes & Company’s dance piece Many Happy Returns, Ahamefule J. Oluo’s solo musical The Things Around Us, and Late at The Annex––a series of late-night music performances with artists to be announced soon––all take place in The Annex.
