  3. Happy 100th BDay, Tennessee Williams

    Today would have been the 100th birthday of renowned, Tony Award-winning and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tennessee Williams, who penned “The Glass Menagerie,” “Streetcar Named Desire,” and “The Rose Tattoo” among many others. He also wrote “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof,” so this doubles as our weekly Caturday entry. So happy birthday Tennessee, and happy Caturday everyone! The photo above of Tennessee is from 1941 and was taken by Vandamm Studios. It’s currently in our Billy Rose Theatre Division at the Library For The Performing Arts.
