Since 1987, the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival has been supporting writers, thespians, and other cultural professionals during our annual Festival. In a world dominated by fast-paced commercialism, the Festival reminds us how a play, a book, or a song can change our lives.

Now, we’re making a wish…to throw the biggest celebration ever. Our 25th anniversary is also the cenTENNial birthday of the great playwright.

A non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization, the Festival relies upon donations from like-minded individuals. Now, as we plan for our best Fest, the ultimate fete, we invite others to help make it a reality.

By dedicating $25 for the 25th anniversary, or $100 for Tennessee’s 100th, you’ll be a part of making New Orleans, and the Tennessee Williams Festival, the place to celebrate. Or why not give more? Dedicate a gift of $250, $1000, or $2500 to our 2011 celebration.

If you'd like to give a different amount than is shown here, you can mail your gift made out to Tennessee Williams Literary Festival to 938 Lafayette Street, Suite 514 New Orleans, LA 70113.

Thank you for your support!
