Jeremy O. Harris, Raphael Picciarelli on Reinventing the Williamstown Theatre Festival With a Bold 2025 Season
Jeremy O. Harris, Raphael Picciarelli discuss their vision for the Williamstown Theatre Festival's 2025 season.
Williamstown is still one of the country’s most prestigious festivals, but it has endured a bruising period, one that saw major leadership shakeups, as well as allegations of a “toxic work culture ” that left the organization reeling after they were made public in 2021. The idea of the Creative Collective, Picciarelli says, was to include a guest curation model, which would help the festival amplify a wider range of voices and a more diverse array of projects. According to the official description, the show “confronts uncomfortable truths about land and what it means to destroy it.” Harris says it represents a huge creative risk, comparing it to the leap that Williams took with “Camino Real,” which was much more surreal and expressionistic than his previous plays.
