wtf summer brochure 2014

FOR 60 SUMMERS, THEY’VE COME. From across the nation, winding

through verdant mountains, destined

for a sunlit, art-filled valley, ready to

play. Seasoned pros looking to swing

away, bettering personal bests. Top-

draft rookies, eager for that first at-bat

and a shot at making their name.

This may be farmland, but this is no

farm team. They’re in the big show now,

a home team of All-Stars, risen and

rising. They’ve got the desire, the talent,

and they’ll sweat and bleed to get it

right. They’re here to put on a show for

you, and boy, have they got game.

PLAY ON.James Snyder in JOHNNY BASEBALL, photo by T. Charles Erickson, 2013

EARNEST AND GULLIBLE young lyricist Fred Stevens boards a train in Schenectady

bound for the Big Apple, determined to make a name for himself in the thriving Tin Pan Alley scene. However,

the life he’s imagined is rife with seductive distractions — namely dames — that threaten to derail his dream of

penning the next big ditty. Both bitterly funny and deliciously literate, legendary humorists Ring Lardner and

George S. Kaufman celebrate and skewer the perishable pop of yesteryear. Director Jessica Stone, whose WTF

productions of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Last of the Red Hot Lovers left audienc-

es convulsed with laughter, brings her special brand of glee back to the Festival stage.

With Nate Corddry, Holley Fain, and Christopher FitzgeraldSponsored by Paul Neely

JULY 2–13MAIN STAGE

AFTER DECADES as the gentle-natured leader of a Christian retreat that endeavors to

“cure” gay teens, Walt is packing up his life and preparing for a reluctant retirement. But when his final

client quietly disappears into the remote Idaho wilderness, Walt discovers that his previously unwavering

moral compass no longer points the way. With profound humanity and subtlety, Obie Award-winning

playwright Samuel D. Hunter navigates complex moral terrain, exploring the shifting motives and

inconstant strength of our personal convictions.

A GREAT WILDERNESSBy SAMUEL D. HUNTERDirected by ERIC TING

JULY 9–20NIKOS STAGE

WORLD-RENOWNED SOPRANO Renée Fleming takes the Festival stage as

celebrated diva Rachel De Angelis. When her husband, the fiery and egomaniacal Maestro Vito De Angelis, becomes

enamored with the lovely young lady hired to ghostwrite his long-delayed autobiography, Rachel retaliates by hiring

her very own — and very handsome — ghostwriter to chronicle her life as an opera star. As the young writers try to

keep themselves out of the story while churning out chapters, the high-energy — and high-maintenance — power

duet threatens to fall out of tune for good. A sparkling new comedy from two-time Tony Award winner Joe DiPietro,

adapted from a work by the revered Garson Kanin and directed by three-time Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall. With Renée Fleming and Justin LongBusiness Sponsor

LIVING ON LOVEBy JOE DiPIETRO and GARSON KANINBased on the play PECCADILLO by GARSON KANINDirected by KATHLEEN MARSHALL

JULY 16–26MAIN STAGE

WORLD PREMIERE

HOLED UP in a seedy motel on the edge of the Mojave Desert, two former lovers unpack the deep

secrets and dark desires of their tangled relationship, passionately tearing each other apart. Beaten down by

ill-fated love and a ruthless struggle for identity, can they ultimately live with, or without, each other? Led by

director Daniel Aukin, riveting young actors Chris Pine — returning for the first time to the stage where he

launched his career — and Lauren Ambrose, in her Festival debut, bring a raw sexy energy to Sam Shepard’s landmark myth of the new Wild West.

With Lauren Ambrose and Chris PineSponsored by Jessica & Matt Harris and KK & Bo Peabody

FOOL FOR LOVEBy SAM SHEPARDDirected by DANIEL AUKIN

JULY 23–AUGUST 2NIKOS STAGE

IN HER FESTIVAL DEBUT, Broadway legend Chita Rivera embodies Claire Zachanassian,

the oft-widowed richest woman in the world, who returns to the hardship-stricken town of her birth. The locals pray

that her wealth will bring them a new lease on life, but the carefully plotted renewal she offers carries a dreadful

price. Sardonic and morally complex, The Visit asks: What can your heart afford? Featuring Festival favorite

Roger Rees and helmed by Tony Award-winning director John Doyle, this incendiary musical is one of the last

collaborations between the incomparable John Kander and Fred Ebb, with a book by Tony Award winner Terrence McNally and choreography by the legendary Graciela Daniele. With Roger Rees and Chita RiveraSponsored by James & Virginia Giddens with additional support from The Mackintosh Foundation

THE VISIT JULY 31–AUGUST 17MAIN STAGE

THE ENDLESSLY IMAGINATIVE PigPen Theatre Co. comes to Williamstown with a

luminously lo-fi spectacle that elevates traditional storytelling to high art. Their fantastical, song-filled tale takes

us to the end of the world when an old man abandons his duty of filling the moon with liquid light to search for

his missing wife. With a rollicking array of ever-changing characters, inventive theatrical effects, and an infectious

contemporary folk sound, these seven young actor musicians transform the seemingly ordinary into sheer wonder.

For over three decades, Nikos Psacharopoulos was Williamstown’s colorful and intrepid artistic director, guiding it from local summer playhouse to interna-tionally renowned festival. In his honor, longtime colleagues of Nikos will reunite on the Main Stage to share stories and personal memories.

JULY 21 | MAIN STAGE @ 7:30PMTickets: $100 Prime Orch. | $60 Orch. / 1st Balc. | $40 2nd Balc.

While this world of ours is no picnic, Williamstown’s favorite (adopted) son, Lewis Black, always manages to make a meal of it. From his standing-room-only Broadway runs to his eighteen seasons on The Daily Show, this Grammy Award-winning comedian makes our collective indignation not only delicious, but hilarious. And while he’s made countless fans around the globe, his WTF shows are legendary — something about the fresh air really gets him riled up. Don’t miss it.

$100 tickets include a post-performance reception with Lewis and other Festival artists. All proceeds from this performance will support the Festival’s signature professional development programs.

DASHING OUTLAW. Expert archer. Cunning wealth redistributor. Merry Man. The daring deeds of Robin Hood come alive in this fresh and funny adaptation of the traditional ballads and folklore. Brimming with spirited swordplay and tongue-in-cheek humor, it celebrates the well-known tale of Robin, Maid Marian, Little John, Friar Tuck, and the rest, while cleverly reinventing the myth. The Williamstown woods are magically transformed into Sherwood Forest as sought-after director Stella Powell-Jones enlivens this legendary swashbuckling adventure on the outdoor Free Theatre stage. Bring the whole family and a picnic for a merry evening under the stars!
