Description:
    The Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival presents the works of Tennessee Williams, often world premieres, in plays, film, dance, live music, and performance art. We have presented shows from around the world and from different parts of America. We also present new works inspired by Williams.
The history-making Festival takes place each year in September, two weeks before Columbus Day, in a fishing village at the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where Williams spent fertile summers writing and falling in love. Provincetown is now a popular summer tourist destination. In the Autumn the weather is still warm, the light turns noticeably blue, and the perfect marriage of setting and subject make the Williams performances exhilarating.
The Festival has transformed a traditionally unremarkable weekend at the tail-end of the tourist season by enlivening the cultural and economic vitality of the town. Tennessee Williams spent the most productive time of his life in Provincetown, where he wrote The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire, masterpieces that have become enduring world classics.
