A faded southern belle, with dreams of lost glory; a harried son with dreams of escape; a beautiful dreamer, whose collection of glass figurines is almost as fragile as she … and a gentleman caller who could change everything for them all.  These are the players in Tennessee Williams’ classic drama about hope, loss and memories.

Directed by Mark Allen Holt

June 15th - 30th, 2012 *

 

During the 1950s and 60s, Harvard-trained mathematician Tom Lehrer inflicted upon the world a series of albums chock full of his satirical compositions. Over the decades these comedic songs, including such dubious classics as "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" and "The Masochism Tango", have developed a cult status among those of a slightly-twisted disposition. Some of these fans were even obsessive enough to assemble their favorites into a night of musical theater quite unlike any other. Join us as we leave all good sense behind and explore the singular comedic genius of Tom Lehrer.
