“The theatre is who I am – it’s where I feel the most inspired, the most at home, the most useful.” -Mary-Louise Parker
Head to the Williamstown Theatre Festival from June 27th through July 8th to see Tony award winner Mary-Louise Parker in her element, on stage. She’s starring in “The Sound Inside” by Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Rapp, directed by David Cromer.
