<p>Williams has a great theatre program and a beautiful facility that opened last year I think.There is also a campus group called Cap and Bells that puts on productions . Son does theatre and there were more plays than he could possibly have wanted to be in. Good luck to you. proudmama</p>
<p>A good article from the Alumni Review</p>
<p>Wow thank you for that link. VERY interesting and good for getting a better overall picture.</p>
<p>Any information on musical theater at Williams? Thanks.</p>
<p>Check out the list of alums ... Stephen Sondheim, William Finn, current broadway actors / composers Jason Howland, David Turner, Sebastian Arcelus, international pop star Lee Hom Wang, all involved in musical theater as students. So the Williams name is known and respected because of alums like these and the theater festival. Caps n Bells puts on one major musical a year which is usually very-high caliber, and there are also lots of smaller productions, both from students and the theater department. Williams has been placing a huge emphasis on theater and dance lately, bringing in impressive outside performers and of course the facility is second to none and speaks for itself. And there are some (limited) opportunities for students to get involved in the theater festival. I think theater, along with Math and art history, is one area that Williams provides unusual opportunities and really distinguishes itself from other liberal arts colleges (unlike, say, poly sci or english, which are oustanding at pretty much any top five liberal arts college).</p>
<p>To add to Ephman's post... last year Cap n Bells (the oldest student theatre group in the country) did Assasins (Sondheim) and this year I believe they will be doing Into the Woods (Sondheim). While from what I've heard, Sondheim is produced more than average (for obvious reasons), musicals are not exclusively limited to Sondheim.</p>
