Strong Theater & Academics

Williams has a small but vibrant theater program with enthusiastic support and beautiful facilities. The Williamstown Theater Festival is an outstanding summer event, and though it’s not administered by the college, the energy and influence rubs off. During the school year there are plentiful performance opportunities, available to majors and non-majors and non-majors alike. Look at the Studio’62 Program: https://theatre.williams.edu/studio62/

The academic strength of the English department is superb. Double majoring is common and interdisciplinary synergy is encouraged. In another thread you mentioned an interest in creative writing. Award winning fiction writers on Williams’ faculty are Jim Shepard, Andrea Barrett and Karen Barrett, along with other visiting lecturers.
