SUMMARY: Tennessee Williams Week concluded on September 15 in Columbus, Mississippi, featuring performances that celebrated the playwright’s legacy. The Columbus Arts Council hosted the play “A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur” at the Omnova Theatre, engaging the community in the arts. Squeak Humphrey emphasized the importance of honoring Williams, noting the limited awareness of his contributions as a queer Southern playwright. Residents, like Taylor Green, appreciated learning about Williams’ life and struggles, especially regarding censorship. The success of this small cast performance showcased the dynamic potential of intimate productions, and the Arts Council anticipates more live shows in the future.
