In this gutsy, powerful, and altogether fascinating probe into the psyche of Tennessee Williams, local playwright Joe Besecker shares a glimpse of the famed dramatist's private persona.

Local playwright, Joe Besecker's twenty-five plays have received over thirty productions since 1984. Tennessee in the Summer is the winner of the Jane Chambers International Gay Playwriting Contest, and has been performed in the Edinburgh Festival. The third Los Angeles production played for nine months, and was nominated for two Los Angeles Ovation Awards.

Cast: Dale Albright, Alex Alexander, Jeremy Forbing, Annamarie MacLeod
