Tuesday, June 14th, 2011, 2:15 pm

Even from the simplest brush strokes provided, offstage characters from the
Williams' canon provide rich personalities and storylines in this bill of
five one-acts that not only tell us about their lives but in turn reflect
back on the pieces from which they originate. (No advanced knowledge required-but
those loving Streetcar, Glass Menagerie, Rose Tattoo, Sweet Bird, and Cat
will have an enhanced experience.)
