Tennessee Williams, twptown.org, Sep 20-23

The Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival was founded in 2006 by Dr. Jerry Scally, Alix Ritchie, Patrick Falco, and David Kaplan. The TW Festival mission is:
  • To host performances that examine and celebrate Tennessee Williams' work, life and evolving historical importance including the playwright's own connection to Provincetown.
  • Honor Williams as a playwright of enduring and international relevance and significance. * Encourage the searching spirit of Williams' writing to inspire new creative work.
  • Draw on Provincetown's perspective as the longest-running American artist colony where serious modern American drama was born.

Clap your hands and shake a leg at the plays they're presenting in September 2012 at the 7th Annual Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival.
This year's theme takes dramatic notice of the pleasures of music in Tennessee Williams' plays, where he put everything from Christmas carols, pop tunes, Country and Western ballads, Mississippi blues, Mexican love songs and more. His poetry has a music all its own.
Plays will be performed in venues all over Provincetown, where you can bend an ear to a timeworn classic, or tap your toes to something brand new... all inspired by Tennessee Williams.

The Afterglow Festival honors Provincetown as the birthplace of Modern American Theater, recapturing its evolutionary spirit by presenting staged works from performing artists across a wide spectrum of forms.

Afterglow serves as a destination for international and regional stage artists to express their inimitable creativity and innovation while re-establishing this peerless seaside community as a home for vanguard stagecraft.
This festival fills a niche in the Provincetown arts scene long left vacant. In a performance landscape of community theater productions and summer nightclub entertainment, Afterglow galvanizes progressive, new artists and audiences.
The festival name recognizes the season in which it occurs, post Labor Day and the full glare of summer, a most beautiful and inspiring time in Provincetown. Afterglow invites both performers and the public to bask in artistic expression.
The second annual Afterglow Festival is slated to present a critically and publicly acclaimed roster of live performers including Obie-award winner Taylor Mac, and Golden-globe nominee and Obie-award winner and Best Director at the Sundance Film Festival John Cameron Mitchell.
Conceived by John Cameron Mitchell and Quinn Cox, Afterglow renews the centennial artistic bond between Greenwich Village and Provincetown, enriching the cultural heritage of this great Cape Cod hamlet, making it a post-seasonal destination for international artists and audiences alike (Afterglow - Provincetown Live Performance Art Festival - AfterglowFestival.org)
