TENNESSEE WILLIAMS TRIBUTE READING – SOLD OUT!

YOU ARE NOT THE PLAYWRIGHT I WAS EXPECTING: TENNESSEE WILLIAMS’ TREASURES AND SURPRISES

Some of Tennessee’s most beautiful writing is found in his lesser-known works as well as within his most famous plays. Now, in an evening that’s not-to-be-missed, luminaries of the page and stage gather to share some of the playwright’s unsung treasures: lesser-known plays including A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur and Camino Real, as well as remarkable monologues and scenes from plays you might not be as familiar with, such as Kirche, Küche, Kinder, The Notebook of Trigorin , A Recluse and His Guest, The Gnädiges Fräulein, and Now the Cats With Jeweled Claws. This theatrical treasure hunt offers an entertaining and surprising look at Williams’ legacy. Readers include Bryan Batt, Brenda Currin, John Goodman, Jewelle Gomez, Andrew Holleran, David Kaplan, Lee Osorio, and Mona Lisa Saloy.

Hors d’oeuvres and cash bar at 6:30 PM; performance at 7:30 PM.
