“I am so excited to reunite with James, Michelle, Katie, Joshua, and our Dawson’s Creek’ family for such a special night, shared Williamson. Dawson’s Creek changed my life. What began as a personal story about a young man and his friends navigating their way through the challenges of life became so much more than I ever dreamed. It created an enduring fandom and legacy all over the world. I am so honored to be a part of it and to support our beautiful friend, James, as we continue to navigate our way through life and its many challenges."
