South Camden Theatre Company, a nonprofit professional theatre organization located in Camden, New Jersey, continues its season of "Tenn X Ten," featuring works written by and inspired by Tennessee Williams in celebration of the centennial of his birth. The first three-week production of 2012 features the world premiere of "Tennessee's Final Curtain" on Friday February 10 at 8p.m. "Tennessee's Final Curtain" is written by South Camden Theatre Company's founder and producing artistic director Joseph M. Paprzycki and directed by Allan Radway, the Producing Artistic Director of Simpatico Theatre Project in Philadelphia.

Joseph M. Paprzycki states, "My play, 'Tennessee's Final Curtain,' allows you into Tennessee's personal world of ghosts and demons on the night he died; a death that is still controversial to this day. This production is the result of over twelve years of work, staged readings in three states and an off-off Broadway workshop production in New York. I invite the audience to come with us on our journey to see the inspiration for his greatest characters and the reason Williams was known in some circles as 'His Greatness.'"

Performances will be held Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. at the 96-seat Waterfront South Theatre located at 400 Jasper Street in Camden, New Jersey. Tickets are available for purchase for $15 online at http://www.southcamdentheatre.org, by calling 1-866-811-4111 or at the door.
