W’town Theatre Festival: “We are unable to proceed with the theatre season in Williamstown at this time.” (4.7.20)

Artistic Director Mandy Greenfield said the shows will go on– on AUDIBLE:
“We will make the season of new work we planned to make. We will create seven new productions with Audible, the world’s largest producer and provider of original spoken-word entertainment and audiobooks, in a format safe to elevate, entertain, transport, reveal, unmask and transform audiences from the comfort of their homes. The stellar group of artists who planned to spend the summer in Williamstown, will deliver—with fearlessness and redoubled passion—on the promise they made to create this work for you. This virus might get to tell us what we cannot do but it does not get to dictate what we can do. The voices of these artists will be heard.”

As a token of our appreciation, special access to the 2020 WTF Season on Audible will be made available to new donors at the $600 level and higher and to current donors at the $600 level or higher who sustain or increase their support this year.”
