Critics Say:
“You could picture Williams beaming at the performers' indomitable attitudes and freewheeling physicality... giving international creative voices a platform. This is a troupe and a show worth hearing.” — The Washington Post
“The Tennessee Williams Festival, St. Louis was a resounding success. I have never seen such an assemblage of talented actors, directors and production people who came together to show why St. Louis is indeed a fortunate city.” — St. Louis Post Dispatch
“St. Louis has another beautiful flower blooming in its theatrical garden.” — Ladue News
“The Event of the Year. ...The Tennessee Williams Festival was something to behold and a marvelous moveable feast. ...This whole week gave me an eerie feeling. I could feel the presence of the playwright...in all of the productions and the spaces... Everyone involved brought a regal feeling to this Love Fest and it became a respectful and insightful slice of life to St. Louis theatre. Thanks to Carrie Houk and all who brought this series of special moments to life.”
