SUMMARY:Tennessee Williams Festival St. Louis Presents: Life Upon the Wicked Stage - A Collection of One-Acts by Tennessee Williams
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Brian Hohlfield\nAugust 10-18\, 2024\nCurtain Call Lounge\, Grand Center \n1:00pm and 3:00pm Saturday and Sunday \nAlmost 100 years ago\, what we now call Grand Center in St. Louis was the place to go for entertainment. Vaudeville was struggling but still popular\, double-features (with live acts in between) played all day at the Fox and Missouri theaters\, music poured from dance halls and clubs\, and the hotels were packed with the touring casts of last year’s Broadway’s hits. \nYoung Tom Williams soaked it all up. \nIn celebration of the history and the continuing charm of Grand Center\, the Tennessee Williams Festival of St. Louis will present “Life Upon the Wicked Stage\,” a program of three one-act plays with music\, at the Curtain Call Lounge at the Fox\, just steps from the bustling streets and locations where much of the action takes place. \nLike the rest of the theatre-going public\, Tom was intrigued by what went on backstage\, a world he would soon become familiar with\, and imagined what the lives of the nomadic show-folk must be like. He brings them to life with affection and bemusement in the one-acts “In Our Profession\,” “The Magic Tower\,” and “The Fat Man’s Wife\,” all set in the 1930s and portraying the ups and downs of a career in show-biz. In these early plays\, Williams\, still finding his voice\, is clearly influenced by the plots and styles of the movies he would have seen on this very street\, bringing the experience full circle. \nThe theatrical but intimate setting of the Curtain Call is perfect for a program about show-biz. \nLike a “mini-jukebox musical\,” “Life Upon the Wicked Stage” features songs from the period to evoke the era of Vaudeville and the type of entertainment Tom would have encountered in his Grand Avenue outings long long ago..
