Responses to Censorship

The Tennessee Williams Institute, part of the annual Williams theater festival in Provincetown, will take place from September 22nd to 26th this year. The topic is “creative responses to censorship” — from ancient Greece to Soviet Russia to America during Williams’s lifetime.

Interactive workshops with performers Penny Arcade and Lefty Lucy are planned, as well as a symposium with this year’s institute scholars: Sharon Marie Carnicke, professor of critical studies at the University of Southern California School of Dramatic Arts; Gregory S. Carr, an instructor of speech and theater at Harris-Stowe State University in St. Louis; Felicia Hardison Londré, professor emeritus at the University of Missouri-Kansas City; and Rebecca Mark, a professor of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies at Rutgers University. Registration, which includes festival tickets, is $450 at twptown.org.
