For the Williamstown main stage, Tony nominee Michael Greif stages Paul Schmidt's translation of Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters, running July 16-27.

Rosemarie DeWitt (Danny and the Deep Blue Sea), Sarah Drew (Vincent in Brixton) and Jessica Hecht (Howard Katz) will star as the sisters who long for a life outside their own in the bustling city of Moscow.

For the Nikos Stage, In the Heights' Tony-nominated director Thomas Kail will stage the world premiere of Nathan Jackson's Broke-ology, running July 9-20.
