For night owls who favor a little performance art mixed in with their literature, this event is not to be missed.The National Comedy Company will open with a literary-themed, improvisational comedy performance (think Whose Line Is It Anyway? with a bookish bent). Be ready; you never know what will happen when literature, comedy, and impromptu audience participation combine. Stick around afterward for an irreverent and democratic approach to poetry readings hosted by National Poetry Slam participant Nick Fox. Cheer for the competing poets as they vie for a cash prize and try to impress judges chosen randomly from the audience with their artful mixture of words and showmanship.

Join us for this rare treat! Three living legends of the theater will inaugurate the 23rd annual Festival in high style. Tony Award-winning actresses Zoe Caldwell, Marian Seldes, and Frances Sternhagen have all, at one time in their remarkable careers, been our namesake's leading ladies. While still a teenager, Frances made her stage debut playing thirtyish Laura in The Glass Menagerie. Marian starred as Blackie alongside Tallulah Bankhead in the 1964 Broadway debut of Williams' The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore, and Zoe made her own Broadway debut with her portrayal of Polly in the 1966 production of Slapstick Tragedy, earning the first of her four Tony Awards.

Be a part of the excitement as the stars converge; these three exceptional actresses will delight you with selected readings from dramatic Williams works, remembrances of Tennessee, and a question and answer session with the audience.

Thursday, March 25th at 7:00 P.M.
