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 Roman Spring of Mrs.

Stone follows Karen Stone, a recently widowed and aging American actress who travels to Rome after the death of her husband and the decline of her stage career.

Struggling with loneliness and the loss of her former glamour, she becomes involved with a charming but opportunistic young Italian man.

As their affair deepens, Karen confronts her fears about aging, desire, and relevance in a world that prizes youth.

Set against the lush backdrop of Rome, the story explores vulnerability, longing, and the emotional cost of seeking connection in the face of insecurity.
