The Winter&#39;s Tale&nbsp;ENCORE PERFORMANCE!Hilltown Theatre Anonymous shows are cast and rehearsed in secret, which means each performer works one-on-one with the director and does not know who else is in the show until the moment the performance begins! Our shows collage together Shakespeare&#39;s text with original community testimonials on the themes, original music, dance, puppetry, and anything else we can dream up.&nbsp; This year, we are tackling the story of&nbsp;Shakespeare&rsquo;s&nbsp;The Winter&rsquo;s Tale&nbsp; with two casts over two Hilltown shows. On this third and final evening, performed in the MainStage Theatre at Williams College&#39;s &#39;62 Center for Theatre and Dance, we will mash-up our two shows with both casts into something entirely new! &nbsp;Even in this encore mash-up, you&#39;ll experience a one-of-a-kind performance where no one&mdash;not even the actors&mdash;knows exactly what will happen next!&nbsp; Hilltown Theatre Anonymous brings together a remarkable cross-section of our community&mdash;seasoned performers, first-time actors, musicians, teachers, farmers, students, and neighbors&mdash;to create a theatrical experience unlike any other.

Hilltown Theatre Anonymous: The Winter's Tale (Encore in Williamstown)

Read carefully! EACH NIGHT IS A DIFFERENT SHOW - you are booking for NIGHT TWO:&nbsp;Hilltown Theatre Anonymous shows are cast and rehearsed in secret, which means each performer works one-on-one with the director and does not know who else is in the show until the moment the performance begins.&nbsp;This year, we are tackling the story of&nbsp;Shakespeare&rsquo;s&nbsp;The Winter&rsquo;s Tale&nbsp; over two evenings with two entirely different casts. Both nights present the complete story, but each offers a distinct lens on the play: Night One (Friday, 7/17) emphasizes the first half of the tale, a gripping family drama shaped by jealousy, loss, and courage in the face of injustice, while NIGHT TWO&nbsp;(Sunday 7/19) leans into the play&rsquo;s second half, a communal fairy tale about serendipity, abundance, and renewal. Whether you attend one evening or both, you&rsquo;ll experience a one-of-a-kind performance where no one&mdash;not even the actors&mdash;knows exactly what will happen next!
