richard chamberlain acted at the wtf in 1981 ?



' ''It's a crazy place schedule-wise,'' Richard Chamberlain was saying over a candlelit dinner at the popular River House. The actor, still sporting his salt-and-pepper ''Shogun'' mustache, made his debut as a director with ''The Shadow Box'' at Williamstown in 1978. He came back this year on the spur of the moment. When he was in New York in June to be host of the Tony Awards, his friend Robert Allan Ackerman, who was already scheduled to direct Miss Danner and Mr. Herrmann in an unspecified play, invited him to join the group.

" You get more courageous here. You're freer, more joyous, not afraid. I think I will be here forever.'' Miss Danner's two children have grown up at Williamstown, and Miss Tucci's and Mr. Reeve's children are here, too. Miss Danner's daughter, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Miss Tucci's daughter, Lizzie Gottlieb, have bit parts as little boys in ''The Greeks.'' ''The children all go around in little packs,'' Miss Danner said.
