The Tennessee Williams Theatre Company of New Orleans

The Tennessee Williams Theatre Company of New Orleans is a year-round professional theatre company dedicated exclusively to the works of America’s greatest playwright, Tennessee Williams—right here in New Orleans, the city he called his spiritual home.

Your support makes this work possible.
Now entering our 11th season, TWTC is the first and only professional theatre company in the United States devoted solely to Williams’s work. Your gift directly supports three full-scale productions each year and the local actors, designers, and technicians who bring these stories to life on stage.

Your donation also helps us expand access beyond the theatre. With your support, we bring Williams’s work into local schools, introduce students to New Orleans’s resident playwright, and offer discounted and pay-what-you-can performances so that live theatre remains accessible to all.

Each spring, your generosity also supports our ongoing partnership with the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival, allowing one of our productions to be presented as part of the festival’s official lineup.

Voted Best Local Theater Company in 2024 and 2025 by Gambit Weekly’s Best of New Orleans, TWTC continues to preserve Tennessee Williams’s legacy while producing bold, intimate, deeply human theatre.

When you give, you sustain the artists, the work, and the future of this company. Thank you for helping ensure that Tennessee Williams’s voice remains alive in the city that shaped him.
