the joint comedy theater

Written and performed by Jacob Storms, Tennessee Rising sheds light on the unexplored, formative years (1939-1945) of Tom Williams as he metamorphoses into his most iconic character – America’s acclaimed playwright, Tennessee Williams – and grapples with first love, professional triumph and torment, heartbreak, and ultimately “the catastrophe of success.” The play was originally directed for the stage by Alan Cumming. https://www.jacobstorms.net/
