TRUE WEST has opened on the Main Stage!Our second Main Stage show of the 2009 season opened Thursday night to a FULL HOUSE and was followed by an opening night gala at the Williams Inn. True West runs July 15 – July 26 and stars Nate Corrdry, Stephen Kunken, Debra Jo Rupp, and Paul Sparks.
Written by American screen and stage legend Sam Shepard and directed by former WTF Boris Sagal Directing Fellow Daniel Goldstein, this modern classic is an explosive exploration of family rivalry as two very different brothers attempt to sell Hollywood their version of the great American dream.
“…an enjoyable rendition of an American classic.” – Albany Times Union

Fridays @ 3 this week is Sense of an Ending by Ken Urban
2008 Weissberger Award Winner, Sense of an Ending by Ken Urban, directed by Sam Gold will be read at the Paresky Center on the Williams College Campus on July 24th.
Charles, an African-American journalist, gets assigned to write a piece on the genocide in Rwanda through the story of two nuns being tried for crimes against humanity. These nuns are accused of knowing about the mass murder that happened within their church walls and doing nothing about it. Through his guide and another local man he meets, Charles struggles to understand the many crimes against humanity happening in Rwanda and ultimately must decide how to tell the story.
