TEN BY TENNESSEE Comes to Sky Stage

The Endangered Species Theatre Project presents Ten by Tennessee, a series of short plays written by Tennessee Williams and performing at Sky Stage. Inspired by Seattle's Endangered Species Project and produced and directed by Christine Mosere and Aaron Angello with the mission of bringing forgotten plays to life through elegantly staged readings.

The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire secured Tennessee Williams's place as one of America's major playwrights. However, long before Blanche Dubois and Laura Wingfield showed up, we saw early hints of those characters in his short plays. Christine Mosere and Aaron Angello invite our audience to meet the eccentric landladies, overbearing mothers, repressed sons, the spinsters, lovers, and artists through these long-neglected masterpieces.

Ten by Tennessee will perform at Sky Stage, 59 South Carroll Street in Frederick, Maryland. "We are thrilled to present these short plays in an outdoor venue as Tennessee Williams was often found writing outside on Cape Cod in his early 30s. I like to think of him sitting outside, drinking a Ramos Fizz, and writing," says director and actor Christine Mosere. Ten by Tennessee features: Aaron Angello, Suzanne Beal,Surasree Das, Gené Fouché, Julie Herber, Jason Hoffman, Christine Mosere*, Madi Reinhold, Rachel Smith, Elizabeth Tringali, Daniel Valentin-Morales, and Katie Woods. *Denotes a member of Actors Equity Association.

There is street parking and a city parking garage is located across the street. The show runs in two parts - Part 1 (a little over an hour) performs Thursday and Friday, June 14th and 15th at 7 p.m. -- Part 2 (also a little over an hour) on Monday and Tuesday, July 16, and 17 at 7 p.m. Those interested in attending our dress rehearsals may come to Sky Stage on Wednesday, June 13th and Sunday July 15th at 7 p.m.
