A Tennessee Williams Weekend by the Tennessee Stage Company

KNOXVILLE -- Three of Tennessee Williams's highly acclaimed one act plays will be presented by the Tennessee Stage Company November 16-18, 2012.

Tennessee Williams was a trailblazing playwright who brought a realism and a sensitivity to the American stage that had not existed before. In addition to some of the most famous full length plays of the 20th Century Williams wrote brilliantly in the short play form. His one acts form a singular body of work and despite their brilliance are rarely performed.

Interspersed among the plays will be special performances of excerpts from Williams' letters, poems, and essays making a full and varied performance of Tennessee Williams brilliant and multi faceted writing.

Performances will be at the Broadway Academy of Performing Arts, 700 N. Broadway, at the corner of Broadway and Central Avenue; Friday, Nov. 16 at 8:00 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 17 at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 18 at 3:00 p.m. All tickets are $12 and will be available at the door or by phone at 865-246-4280 and online at www.tennesseestage.com.
