Nicholas Martin will direct the cast, which also features Dashiell Eaves, Kathryn Hahn, Jon Patrick Walker, David Lansbury, Jennifer Van Dyck, Jeremy Shamos, Jonathan Fried, Brooks Ashmanskas, Rod McLaughlin and Sam Breslin Wright. Williamstown regular Burton will play Queen Titania to Lloyd's Oberon. The four star-crossed young lovers will be played by Stone (Hermia), Demetrius (Walker), Eaves (Lysander) and Helena (Hahn). The Rude Mechanicals will be led by Wilkof's Peter Quince, Martin's Robin Starveling and Shamos' Bottom. The puckish Fitzgerald, who is taking a break from his role in Wicked to visit the Berkshires fest, will play Puck.

This may be the last time in some years that Williamstown regular Burton will be able to take part in a summer season at the theatre. Her husband, WTF producer Michael Ritchie, leaves the Berkshires post after this year, heading for a job as artistic director of the Los Angeles' Center Theatre Group, overseeing the Mark Taper Forum, the Ahmanson Theatre and the new Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City.
