Something Spoken:
Tennessee Williams On The Air


“The peak of my virtuosity was in the one-act plays.
Some of which are like firecrackers on a rope.” 
Tennessee Williams

“Something Spoken: Tennessee Williams On the Air” debuts July 11 on Classic 107.3 FM. Each episode will include a production of a Williams one-act play, followed by commentary from Williams scholar Thomas Mitchell. Brian Hohlfeld, David Kaplan and Tim Ocel return to TWStL to direct. 

Executive Artistic Director Carrie Houk said the program aims to help “unify, elevate and enrich humanity during this very challenging year.”
