Williamstown Theatre Festival. In the opinion of many the premiere summer theatre in America, the group from Williamstown, Massachusetts, has an international reputation for superb revivals, new translations of foreign works, and original scripts. The theatre also receives much publicity because of the many famous actors who use the festival to return to the stage away from the commercial demands of New York. The group was founded by Ralph Renzi and David C. Bryant in 1955, and for decades it was run by the Yale professor Nikos Psacharopoulos. Performances are in the 520‐seat Adams Theatre and the 96‐seat Nikos Stage, located on the campus of Williams College. Since the death of Psacharopoulos in 1989, Peter Hunt has been artistic director. The company won the 2002
Tony Award as outstanding regional theatre.
