Opening nights are magic. Tennessee used to sit in his seat [he liked aisle] and would watch his plays as they unfurled. There are stories about someone laughing with a high pitched laugh at the most intimate moments of " TheGlass Menagerie" during it's premeire run. Audience members would be annoyed and turn around to see who it was only to find that the man laughing was Tennessee Williams himself. He said he remembered the moment that inspired the moment in the play and that amused him greatly. There's a lot of humor in our "Summer" as well as incredible drama all brought to you by a most talented cast and director. And....if you happen hear someone laughing at a strange time and turn to see no one there....then maybe Mr. Williams has joined us. I told you openings were magic. See you at Waterfront South Theatre.

Congrats, Joe. It was theatre as poetry in action - deep themes expressed through compressed, symbolic language by characters trapped in a realistic life or death struggle, the kind of high-wire act only successfully written by the best of the best and the cast not only pulled it off but knocked it out of the park. Connie did a brilliant job.
