The 25th Annual Tennessee Williams Festival wrapped up in New Orleans over the weekend. It's an annual event that brings together scholars, fans and theater folk for discussion and some presentations of the famed playwrights' work. One of the more interesting events was a "Stella!" shouting contest where some guys yelled at a balcony on Jackson Square, recreating the classic scene from A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. God knows what Williams would have thought of all the screaming...but he certainly would have been interested some of these attractive young men. If he were alive, Tennessee Williams would turn 100 this week.
