Familiarity with Tennessee Williams and discussion about theater.

During the introduction of the new- comers it was a pleasant surprise to learn that many club members are interested in theater.
The presentation (slide show, 22 slides) about the 100th anniversary of Tennessee Williams has drawn the club members’ attention to the creative work of this famous American playwright.
WOA Head S.Usenko promoted info about William’s plays in Dnipropetrovsk theaters. All interested may attend «Sweet Bird of Youth» in the Russian Drama Theater and  “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ” in the Ukrainian Music Drama Theater.
Then we discussed about theater in our life. Why is the theatre important?
