Workshop: Dramatic Dreamers - Rhythm, Humor, and Pathos of Tennessee Williams

Using the “big 3” for script material, - A Streetcar Named DesireThe Glass Menagerie, and Cat On a Hot Tin Roof - participants will work toward finding the music of the great playwright’s language. “Doing a Southern accent” is a surefire method to kill the dramatic effect and humor of a Williams play. This active workshop practices with rhythms and sounds specific to the locales, and some of Williams’ most delightful devices.

Presenter: Murray Chase, Producing Executive Director, Venice (FL) Theatre

Murray has been Venice (FL) Theatre's Producing Executive Director for 23 years. During his 40-year directing career, he has directed most of Williams' famous works, including the "Big 3."  He spent much of his childhood in the Mississippi Delta.
