Schedule of Events:
2pm - Spirit of the People
In “one of the most hotly anticipated events in theatre” (GQ), visionary playwright Jeremy O. Harris returns with his first world premiere after his record-breaking Slave Play.
Location: MainStage Theatre – 1000 Main Street, Williamstown, MA 01267
2pm - Not About Nightingales
1938. Hitler is invading Austria, Stalin is putting on show trials, America is lynching Black people, thousands are rotting in state prisons, the world is slowly climbing out of the Great Depression, Hollywood is filming The Wizard of Oz and auditioning for Gone with the Wind, all while a 27 year old Tennessee Williams is pulling all-nighters to finish a blistering homoerotic Prison Drama. He would never live to see a production of this early masterpiece. Not About Nightingales is a front row seat to America’s prison industrial complex whose atrocities are too often avoided and denied. Director Robert O’Hara (A Raisin in the Sun and Slave Play), will immerse us in this searing testament to what happens when we cage men, remove their humanity, and let them rot while the ‘outside world’ is run by rich, entitled gangsters.
Location: NikosStage Theater – 1000 Main Street, Williamstown, MA 01267
