Slipstream Presents Original Play About Tennessee Williams
by Julie Musbach - Aug 8, 2017
In what has become a Slipstream tradition, September brings the world premiere of an original play, A Night of Stars with Tennessee Williams.

Appearances on the tour include Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, Bette Davis, Truman Capote, Katharine Hepburn, and many more along the way.
