Captain Drew on Leave by Hubert Henry Davies A LOVELY SUNDAY FOR CREVE COEUR

by Tennessee Williams
JJuly 9 – August 8, 2010

Set in the West End of St. Louis in the mid-thirties on a lovely Sunday for a picnic at Creve Coeur Lake. This delightful play, featuring four of Williams’ most engaging female characters, skillfully explores, with comic irony and great tenderness, the meaning of loneliness, the need for human connection, as well as the inevitable compromises one must make to get through “the long run of life.”

In Loving Memory

Horton Foote passed away on March 4th, 2009, in Hartford, Connecticut, where he was hard at work preparing his epic Orphans’ Home Cycle for production at Hartford Stage and Manhattan’s Signature Theatre next season.

In his 92 years on this earth, Horton enriched American drama with his unique insight into the souls of common men and women living and dying in the fictional town of Harrison, Texas. We are so pleased to have had Mr. Foote serve as an Honorary Member of our Board of Directors, and honored to have presented nine of his plays since 1998, including two de facto premieres, through his kind generosity.

The Quotidian Theatre dedicates its April 2010 production of The Trip to Bountiful to the memory of this sweet, gentle, talented man, whose words will live on as long as plays are performed in this country.

-Jack Sbarbori

...for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs. -- George Elliot Middlemarch
