In addition to producing a full season of theatre and events in only eight weeks, Williamstown Theatre Festival runs professional training, play development, and community immersive theatre programs year-round.

Community Works
COMMUNITY WORKS is Williamstown Theatre Festival’s year-round community-engaged theatre program that brings together hundreds of Berkshire area residents from all walks of life. These diverse constituencies are connected with professional theatre artists and with each other through workshops, rehearsals, and a professional-caliber production on the Main Stage at the Festival, presented free of charge for more than 2,000 locals.

Williamstown Theatre Festival is distinct among our nation’s theatres for consistently devoting as much energy – and significant resources – to training and mentorship as we do to producing. For 60 years, the Festival has offered students and early-career professionals unparalleled opportunities to develop their skills in an environment that promotes mutual inspiration and respect between novices and established artists.
