Tennessee Williams will be the focus of this year’s George Rodrigue Lecture at the April 11 University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Dr. Victor Holtcamp, assistant professor in Tulane University’s Department of Theatre and Dance, will speak on “Tennessee Williams, New Orleans, Fabrication and Faith” at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 11, in Burke-Hawthorne Hall Theatre on the UL-Lafayette campus.
In his talk, Holtcamp will explore the life and career of one of America’s greatest playwrights with a special focus on New Orleans, the role of the storyteller and questions of belief in his life and work. Alongside analyses of his best known and loved plays like "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "The Glass Menagerie," Holtcamp will delve into his short stories and one-acts, some only recently rediscovered in the archives.
The lecture is sponsored by the George Rodrigue Annual Lecture on Louisiana Culture and the Arts and the Flora Plonsky Levy Endowment in the Humanities. The lecture is dedicated to the memory of George S. Bradley. For more information on this free event, visit the event's Facebook page, the eventbrite page or call (337) 482-5499.
