Each year we proudly celebrate the birthday of legendary playwright Tennessee Williams, who was born on March 26, 1911.

His powerful storytelling and unforgettable characters have left a lasting mark on American theater and film, and here at the Tropic we are honored to keep his spirit alive.

Our birthday celebration brings the community together to recognize his extraordinary legacy with a special screening and shared appreciation for one of the South’s most influential voices.

Join us as we gather to celebrate his life, his art, and the enduring impact of his work on audiences around the world. The Migrants follows two lonely drifters who find themselves sharing a rundown shack on the outskirts of a small California town.

Each man is burdened by isolation and a past filled with disappointment, and their uneasy companionship reveals both suspicion and a deep longing for connection.

As they navigate mistrust and fleeting moments of understanding, the film offers a stark and intimate portrait of displacement, vulnerability, and the fragile bonds that can form between outsiders.
