Harbinger Theatre

A Distant Country Called Youth Apr. 23 – May 3

Linda Shirey, Director

Patrick White, Actor

Location: MOPCO Improv Theatre in Sch’dy Ticketed $15

Spanning the twenty five years from boyhood to the opening of The Glass Menagerie, this one man show evokes the evolution of an American genius through his extraordinary correspondence with family, friends, lovers and other writers. Hilarious, raunchy and poetic in turn, the piece spotlights these fairly obscure years in William’s life. Here is a young Thomas Lanier Williams growing up, exploring and finding his artistic voice as Tennessee Williams.

Harbinger Theatre will produce impactful Capital Region premieres by underrepresented playwrights, creating more opportunities for al theater goers interested in change.
