The theme of this year's Festival will be “Last Call,” with live performances of plays by Williams that celebrate endings. It’s not the last of the Festival, but it is the last of the four day celebrations. The Festival will transform after 2025 and the mission of the Festival will continue in new ways, championing Tennessee Williams in other forms in Provincetown -- and around the world.  As Festival Curator David Kaplan puts it, “We've enjoyed our run:  productions of over a hundred different plays by Williams from Adam and Eve on a Ferry (2008) to Will Mr. Merriwether Return from Memphis? (2018). From A to W, if not quite A to Z.”

The 20th season will feature a daring new production of a classic play by Williams, a fresh take on a rarely produced late play by Williams, a new adaptation of a text by Williams, and several short plays by Williams’ peer, Samuel Beckett. A highlight of the twentieth season will be a production of Williams’ classic Sweet Bird of Youth, in which the glamorous Alexandra DeLago proclaims “There’s no more valuable knowledge than knowing the right time to go.” A full list of 2025 performances will be shared in the coming weeks.

Plan to join us in Provincetown this Fall for our Last Call!
