GO?  The Williamstown Theatre Festival kicks off with a revival of Jon Robin Baitz’s Three Hotels starring Maura Tierney and Steven Weber as a couple who, after volunteering for the Peace Corps in their youth, spend their adulthood working the morally corrupt corporate system.

And in August, Rodgers and Hart’s Ten Cents a Dance, starring Tony winner Donna McKechnie, takes to Williamstown’s Main Stage. The other side of the Williamstown coin is their smaller stage, the Nikos. Highlights on the Nikos stage include David Cromer’s take on A Streetcar Named Desire with Jessica Hecht and Sam Rockwell and a new play by comedian Lewis Black called One Slight Hitch.
