Village Players presents Tennessee Williams' classic gem, Suddenly Last Summer, May 1 - May 17, 2009. Set in 1935 New Orleans, wealthy matriarch Violet Venable anxiously awaits a confrontation with her dead husband's niece, Catharine, regarding the facts of her own son's death on the white hot streets of Cabeza de Lobo, Morocco.

Three studio titles will change and one production will move to the Main Stage in a major revision of the Portland Center Stage 2009/2010 season. Early strong seller The Chosen will move to the Main Stage, replacing Joe Turner's Come and Gone (which will be deferred to future season). In the studio, a possible Broadway tour causes our production of Thurgood Marshall to be postponed, and The Best So Far will be put on hold to give it a bit more gestation (and New York fundraising) time.
