Williamstown Theatre Festival Announces Remainder Of 2008 Season

New York, NY – Artistic Director Nicholas Martin today announced the remainder of the programming for Williamstown Theatre Festival’s (WTF) 54th Season.
 
The Season will begin with a production of Christopher Durang’s Beyond Therapy on the Nikos Stage running June 11-22, 2008. Directing this Durang classic in which the lines between doctor and patient are hilariously blurred will be former WTF Boris Sagal Directing Fellow Alex Timbers, artistic director of the acclaimed Les Freres Corbusier theatre company. The cast will include Kate Burton and the production will also be seen at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, NY from July 8-27.
 
Also new to the WTF schedule is the world-premiere of Broke-ology by recent Julliard graduate Nathan Jackson which will run July 9-20 on the Nikos Stage. In this moving drama, two brothers caring for their ailing father face the dilemma of following their dreams or honoring the unspoken promise of familial loyalty. Directing will be Thomas Kail, currently represented on Broadway with In the Heights. 
 
Completing the 2008 Nikos Stage season will be the world-premiere production of Not Waving by playwright and television writer Ellen Melaver, running August 6-17. In this heartwarming play about the universal human need to be loved, three couples are drawn to a public beach with a troubled history. Directing is former WTF Boris Sagal and Bill Foeller Directing Fellow Carolyn Cantor, currently represented Off-Broadway with Something You Did.
 
The previously announced Harriet Jacobs will not be presented this summer. Full casting and creative teams for the 2008 WTF Season will be announced at a later date.
