The Eccentricities of A Nightingale April 6, 2011

Known as "the nightingale of the Delta," Alma Winemiller is a lonely, sensitive misfit hemmed in by her stern, puritanical father and her unstable mother. Rebellious, with an artistic temperament that her father tries to suppress, Alma finds consolation in her music and in the secret lifelong love she has for the boy-next-door. In honor of the playwright's 100th birthday, Artistic Director Tom Ross helms this powerful play filled with all of the majestic themes, oversized characters, and gentle poetry that has earned Williams his exalted position in American theatre.
