The Williamstown Theatre Festival is looking damn good for 60-something. (Must be all that fresh Berkshires air.) To celebrate the 60th birthday of the beloved festival, WTF has published a gorgeous new 350-page coffee table book Many Stages: A Portrait of Williamstown Theatre Festival / The First 60 Years: 1954-2014.
Co-authored by WTF veterans Juliet Flynt, Steve Lawson, and Joan Zegras, Many Stages charts six decades through the eyes of actors, playwrights, artistic leaders, directors, designers and area residents and includes—get ready for it—900 historic photos. Below, BroadwayBox offers a peek at just 20 of them.
