The Key West Art & Historical Society invites you to step into the world of Tennessee Williams on a guided historic trolley tour exploring the playwright’s deep and lasting connection to Key West.
Led by Tennessee Williams Museum Curator Dennis Beaver, this narrated ride aboard Key West’s iconic trolley will visit sites associated with Williams’ life and work, including his Duncan Street home, the Sands Beach Club, Key West High School, the Tennessee Williams Theater, the Pier House, and more. Along the way, Dennis will share stories and insights into Williams’ time on the island. The tour begins and ends at the Key West Museum of Art & History.
One of the most influential American playwrights of the 20th century, Tennessee Williams is best known for classics such as A Streetcar Named Desire, The Glass Menagerie, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. For more than 30 years, he lived and wrote in Key West, finding inspiration and respite in a quiet cottage where he also pursued oil painting, often sketching friends, acquaintances, and characters from his plays.
This program is sponsored in part by the Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the State of Florida.
