The Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival takes place annually the last full week in September.

Proposals for programming are accepted year round by email.

We are a presenting organization. We are interested primarily in productions that have already been performed elsewhere. When we produce a production ourselves it is for the world premiere of a text written by Tennessee Williams.

We present fully realized productions of Tennessee Williams' texts. We also present new works that respond to Williams' writing, are inspired by Williams' writing, or that further the annual theme announced for the Festival. We are interested in presenting work by other major writers that bears a relationship to Williams: in 2007 we presented plays written by Beckett and Strindberg.

We are especially interested in work that extends the echo and resonance of Williams' words to unexpected media. We welcome proposals from sculptors, painters, videographers, film-makers, choreographers and performance artists.

Further proposal guidelines can be downloaded here.

If you know excellent Williams' productions to recommend that we present, we'd like to hear about those, too.

If you would like to propose something for the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival to present, please e-mail the curator, David Kaplan, at curator@twptown.org
