Williamstown Theatre Festival
- Williamstown Theatre Festival
Williamstown Theatre Festival, located on the campus of Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, is one of America's preeminent regional summer stock theatres. Founded in 1955 by Ralph Renzi (news director for Williams College) and David C. Bryant (chairman of the school's drama program), it was conceived as a way to use the Adams Memorial Theatre on the Williams campus for a resident summer theatre company. Throughout its over four decades in existence, many celebrated American actors of stage and screen have worked as acting apprentices or company members at Williamstown. Recently, the festival has transferred several successful shows to Broadway, and was awarded the Regional Theatre Tony Award in 2002.
