Editor s Note
This is the third part of a three-part series in which artistic directors reflect on COVID-19âs effects on their theatrical season in 2020 and going forward.
The artistic directors of Barrington Stage Company (Julianne Boyd), Berkshire Theatre Group (Kate Maguire), Chester Theatre Company (Daniel Elihu Kramer), Shakespeare& Company (Allyn Burrows), WAM Theatre (Kristen van Ginhoven), and Williamstown Theatre Festival (Mandy Greenfield) will discuss 2020 and lookahead to 2021 in a series of question- and-answer interviews weâre releasing two at a time.
The not-for-profit professional theater s acronymic name stands for Where Arts and Activism Meet. Van Ginhoven says she found inspiration to create WAM in Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn s 2009 book, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide.
