Each fall for the past eleven years, graduate students in the School of Theatre & Dance are offered a class focused on the writing of playwright Tennessee Williams. No ordinary seminar, this class also takes students to the week-long Tennessee Williams Festival in Provincetown, MA where they see 8-10 plays and study under world-renowned scholars, providing students with myriad networking and professional development opportunities.

Inevitably, it seems I write the column for our fall newsletter in Provincetown, where the School of Theatre and Dance sponsors 9 graduate students to join the Scholars Institute at the Tennessee Williams Festival (which we helped to create in 2012). This year, the subject is Williams, Science Fiction, and Fantasy, truly breaking boundaries in our conventional thoughts about the playwright.
