9th Annual Tennessee Williams Festival

“I don’t want realism; I want magic!” Tennessee Williams wrote in A Streetcar Named Desire. And magic is what you’ll find at the Tennessee Williams Festival.

To enrich the cultural life of St. Louis, the annual theater festival features artistic and educational events that celebrate the timeless work and strong influence of the American playwright and screenwriter, who lived in St. Louis for 20 years.

Delighting fans from across the country, the ninth annual Tennessee Williams Festival will feature a production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, readings of one-act plays about show business, walking tours of Grand Center, panel discussions, a pool party and more.
