Save the date! #TWFest25 is March 26-30!

Next year, we'll gather in the French Quarter for our 39th year. Plus, our opening night will kick off ON Tennessee's birthday!

Be sure to mark your calendars now!

This week, we and the rest of the theatre world remember American playwright Christopher Durang.

We're so grateful to have had the opportunity to stage his 'For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls' at the fest several times.

He will be greatly missed!

Happy to (almost) share my bday with you, Tenn! And always an honor to host your festival 🤩

Happy Birthday, Tennessee!

Many of us are leaving or have already left the French Quarter, but we'd be remiss in not celebrating from wherever we are!

Happy ☀️day from Team Tennessee!

Thank you to T.R. Johnson for the great interview at the Tennessee Williams & New Orleans Literary Festival Sunday, and to everyone who came out. It was an immense pleasure to dive into my new book, Winging It, and improv's applications on our lives with such an astute reader and thinker.

As Tennessee said, 'Time doesn't take away from friendship, nor does separation.' Even though we're leaving one another today, #TWFest25 is only a year away!
⁠
We'll continue to roll out pictures and videos from the festival, but for now, THANK YOU for coming to #TWFest24 !

It was a huge pleasure & honor to moderate this panel and get our 21st C NOLA Southern Gothic on with ALEX JENNINGS, Carolyn Hembree, Anya Groner, and Adrian Van Young!

'Defining Character: Three Unorthodox Biographies' is helping us understand how a biographer can present the facts of a life while also capturing the atmosphere and magic of their subject. Thank so much to these amazing presenters!

We're honored to host such incredible poets for 'New Vistas, Grand Outlooks: Rendering the Landscape in Poetry'! Thank you for presenting!

You can see Louisiana Poet Laureate Alison Pelegrin at our Closing Event at 2:30pm today!

Here are our incredible speakers at 'Otherworldly Fiction' sharing their insights on lively and engaging worldbuilding! What an incredible panel!

Here's a picture from 'Creating the Writer's City' on this beautiful Sunday morning. Thank you to these panelists for sharing their insights with us!

What an honor! Thank you so much for all of your beautiful art!

We've reached the final day of the fest, but there's still so much to do!

Don't miss out on our Drummer & Smoke music series and our Festival Closing Event which celebrates up-and-coming and established writers.

We can't wait to spend this lovely Sunday together!
