ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

Williamstown Theater Festival In Summer
Experience the rich history of the Festival's summer tenure at the new '62 Center for Theatre and Dance. Study plays, directors and actors of the past and present. Evaluate characters, themes and production with our professional theatre educator.

Immersion Into the World of Shakespeare
Enjoy total immersion into the world of Shakespeare. Attend an exclusive class on one of the many aspects of Elizabethan theatre which the members of Shakespeare & Company excel in. Understand the classical ideals of inquiry, balance, and harmony. Enjoy a picnic dinner on the grounds, enjoy pre or post show talks with actors and Company staff.
