Description
The Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival, a five-day fête celebrating its eponymous playwright, his works and literary life in the adopted city he called his “spiritual home,” features two days of master classes; a roster of lively discussions among distinguished panelists; celebrity interviews; theater, food and music events; a scholars conference; short fiction, poetry and one-act play competitions; a breakfast book club; French Quarter literary walking tours; a book fair; special evening event and social gatherings; and even a “Stella-r” shouting contest in playful homage to the bellowing mates in A Streetcar Named Desire. The March 25-29, 2015 event marks the 29th annual gathering. It also marks the first year TW/NOLF will run concurrently with its sister organization, Saints and Sinners, an annual LGBT literary conference.
