The Williams Project is a theatre ensemble that strives to make theatrical excellence accessible to diverse and engaged audiences, while paying artists a living wage. The writing of Tennessee Williams shapes our vision of theatrical excellence, so we strive, like him, to create theatre that is entertaining enough to make everyone feel welcome and a part of a community, ambitious enough to risk humiliating failure, and powerful enough to move people to love each other more, even in the face of the temporary nature of theatre and life. We make theatre in a manner consistent with our belief that professional artists are vital to our culture, and that such artists deserve to be compensated fairly for their labor. We pay artists living wage in recognition of their value.
