SEASON SEVEN CONTINUES WITH OUR WORLD PREMIER OF "TENNESSEE"S FINAL CURTAIN"
"Tennessee's Final Curtain" takes us to a room at the Hotel Elysée in New York city on a cold evening in February of 1983; the night of Tennessee Williams death. Look inside this writer's mind as we see him visited by the ghosts and demons that led him to his greatest characters and greatest regrets. As the night progresses, so do the visits, all to the apparent confusion of a young, room service waiter. We soon learn the mystery behind Tennessee's death; one debated until this very day.
"Tennessee's Final Curtain" is a new play written by our Producing Artistic Director, Mr. Joseph M. Paprzycki. And, is being directed by Allen Radway. Starring Kenneth John McGregor, Jihad Milhem, Tenley Bank and William Rahill
“Tennessee’s Final Curtain” reunites four theatre professionals who all started their careers together at Philadelphia’s now closed Brick Playhouse in 1997. Joseph M. Paprzycki’s first full length play to be produced, “Understudies” had a cast that included the professional stage debuts of Allen Radway and Tenley Bank and the earlier work of William Rahill. This foursome worked again in 2007 and also staged a reading of “Tennessee’s Final Curtain” inNew York City at the Dramatists Guild to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Tennessee Williams’s death. Now fifteen years later, Allen is the Producing Artistic Director of Simpatico Theatre Project in Philadelphia and has taken the directing reigns to bring the world premiere of the play to South Camden Theatre Company by bringing all four back together at New Jersey’s newest theatre opened in 2010 the Waterfront South Theatre. Additionally, Allen most recently starred in The Wilma Theatre Company’s “Our Class”. Tenley Bank has worked at Theatre Exile and BRAT productions and returns to acting in this world premiere.
