Most Happy in Concert
July 13 - July 31 | Main Stage
The Main Stage bursts back to life with this evocative meditation on an American musical masterpiece from the director of the boldly reimagined Tony Award-winning revival of Oklahoma! Drawing on a broad range of musical genres and performed by a company of 20 actors and musicians, Most Happy in Concert invigorates the musical concert form, inviting audiences to consider anew Frank Loesser’s exquisite score for The Most Happy Fella. Conceived and directed by Daniel Fish and with choreography by Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, this musical event provides thrilling and contemplative ways to experience and connect with this magnificent and lush score—a deep dive into love, desire, isolation, and connection.
Most Happy in Concert features all-time classics like “Somebody, Somewhere”, “My Heart is So Full of You” “Big D”, and “Standing on the Corner”.
Program, casting, and COVID-19 protocols are subject to change.

Man of God
July 5 - July 22 | Nikos Stage

Juxtaposing girl power with teenage angst, the girls’ different ideals emerge as they discover what it takes to fight back. Maggie Burrows returns to Williamstown to direct this funny feminist thriller by newcomer Anna Ouyang Moench.

Just For Us
August 3 - August 6 | Main Stage
Taking to the Main Stage for six performances from Wednesday, August 3 – Saturday, August 6 will be Just For Us, performed by Alex Edelman. Just For Us takes the audience through hilarious anecdotes from Alex Edelman’s life — his Olympian brother AJ, an unconventional holiday season, and a gorilla that can do sign language – but at its center is an astonishing and frighteningly relevant story. After a string of anti-Semitic abuse is directed at Edelman online, he decides to covertly attend a gathering of White Nationalists in New York City and comes face to face with the people behind the keyboards. The result is a hair-raising encounter that gives Just For Us its title and final, jaw-dropping twist.
Creative team information will be announced at a later date. Program, casting, and COVID-19 protocols are subject to change.
