A little known Tennessee Williams play, A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur provides Williams' misfits, four 'women of a certain age,' a stage for exposing their misfortunes in St. Louis, the 1930's. In a place 'just a street car ride away from a cooling Sunday afternoon picnic' at Lake Creve Coeur, Missouri, the misfits uncover what their lives might be in the future. A stage where their adventures appear courtesy of the up and coming Director Leda Hoffman who transforms Kay Allmand, Kelly Doherty, Molly Rhode and Karen Estrada on a set where 'roses explode like a bombshell of clashing colors' designed by Courtney O'Neill. In fact, the entire production becomes a tour de force for women in the theater, on stage and behind the scenes.
