Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival

Our mission motivates us every day

We celebrate Tennessee Williams by presenting his classic plays and experimental work, the achievements of his peers, and new work inspired by Williams’ creative vision worldwide.

The Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival, presented each September, offers an unmatched range of performance and scholarship all in one place.

We explore Williams’ avant-garde spirit and evolving international importance in our Tennessee Williams Institute, master classes, workshops, internships, and celebrations throughout the year.

In honoring Williams’ foundational connection to Provincetown, we contribute to the cultural wealth and economic health of the wonderful seaside village that so inspired him and graciously hosts us each September.
