On Monday, February 7, the 92nd Street Y - in collaboration with New Directions Publishing and the Tennessee Williams Festival - will celebrate Tennessee William's 100th birthday with performances from actors such as Alec Baldwin, Olympia Dukakis, Jessica Lange, and more.

Set to appear are Baldwin, Dukakis, and Lange, along with Zoe Caldwell, Michael Cristofer, Zoe Kazan, Tony Kushner, Marian Seldes, and Angelica Torn. The event will consist of an evening of readings in honor of the late playwright, who was born March 26, 1911 and penned such enduring works as  A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and The Glass Menagerie.

Williams received many honors for his prolific career, including two Pulitzer prizes, New York Drama Critics' Circles Awards, a Tony Award, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. 

The event will begin at 8 pm in the Kaufmann Concert Hall; tickets are $27 and can be purchased at the 92Y website. If special seating considerations are required, such as wheelchair accessible seating or hearing assistance, please call a Y-Charge operator at (212) 415-5500.
