The Tennessee Tease

The Tennessee Tease brings together Williams’ plays, memoirs, and original burlesque to explore the life and works of this gay American icon. As Tennessee Williams crafts his memoirs, his iconic characters come to life alongside his family members, dearest friends, and lovers. Fact and fiction collide as Tenn imagines his life in letters, illuminated through the art of the tease.

Originally produced in association with Theatre Off Jackson in 2015. A one-act version was created for the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival in 2016. The show was revived at Theatre Off Jackson in 2018.
