This summer is going to be busy with Boxcar's biggest project to date: Three sizzling Tennessee Williams plays running in repertory. Sound insane for a black box theatre? That's exactly why Boxcar's Artistic Directors thought to do it. With three rolling openings one week after another, the ensemble will then go into a traditional nightly rep schedule with Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Directed by Jeffrey Hoffman), A Streetcar Named Desire (Directed by Rebecca Longworth) and The Glass Menagerie (Directed by Jessica Holt). The Tenn Will Project, as it is being referred to as by the artistic team, caps off a very ambitious 13-play season by Boxcar, and defines their season of 'Re-Imagining the Familiar.'
