Scrolling down the articles I cam across this one and the name caught my attention it took me a minute to realize that this is one of the theater companies I applied to for a summer internship. After reading this I am even more interested in the potential of getting to work there. This would be a wonderful opportunity to be a pat of shows with such popular names associated with it. It is funny because you would think a company that is not in major acting cities like L.A. or New York City would not get as many popular people to perform but that is not the case for the Williamstown Theater Festival.

Williamstown has a wonderful reputation for good theater and this line-up sounds particularly good. I saw The Elephant Man there a little while ago and it absolutely blew me away. It was very simple in the execution, but it drove the audience to tiers. Also, side note, Bradly Cooper is wonderful. I don't really see myself doing summer-stock, but I would love to work there if it wouln't cost me hundred of dollars to work for someone else.
