Summer and Smoke
The young Tennessee Williams was as full of talent and passion as he was later in life. He would go on to write A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. In 1948he created a glorious spiritual sexual romance set in Mississippi, not often seen onstage. We bring it to you as our “winter heavy.” It may bring you to tears.
by Tennessee Williams
presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service on behalf of the University of South Sewanee Tennessee

We’re sorry we cannot announce what we have in store. We are working on something BIG! Stay tuned!
The House of Blue Leaves
Some comedy is too offbeat and unpredictable to be set anywhere but New York City. A would-be songwriter, his wife, and his girlfriend, an AWOL soldier, a Mad Bomber, three overzealous nuns, and Pope Paul converge in 1965 Queens for a wild adventure. We promise you won’t know what’s going to happen….until it does.
by John Guare
Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
