I'm curious about why they're doing so few productions this summer. It wasn't that long ago that they were doing 8 or 10 full productions. Is this WTF in Covid-Recovery mode?

Really? I'd have thought it'd been obvious based on the subject line of the thread.

... but everything this summer will be in the smaller Nikos Stage, nothing at the main stage. Weird.

MOST HAPPY in CONCERT will play the main stage - for better or for worse.

Is that confirmed, or is it possible this is just a preliminary announcement and there is another announcement to come?

I know at least one of the festivals would typically announce the summer in stages...I can't say for sure if that was WTF's usual way or not.

Very bizarre indeed. Every other live performance venue in Western MA is back in full throttle this summer. A big yawn to Williamstown '22. After experiencing wince-inducing Alien/Nation last year, I am going to carefully evaluate their productions.

I don't think it's much of a surprise. Have you followed Mandy Greenfield's resignation, etc? Check out the LA Times coverage. In brief, they are doing a short season so that the level of staffing and the production demands align, as a result of complaints from staff. At least that is the stated reasoning.
