Altarena Playhouse is holding auditions for:
SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER
by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Katina Psihos Letheule
May 30 – June 29, 2025
Once the only constant companion of her son Sebastian, Mrs. Violet Venable is distraught by his mysterious death abroad. Sebastian had spurned his mother’s companionship on his last trip, choosing instead to travel with his beautiful cousin Catharine. Since returning to New Orleans, Catharine’s rants about the trip have begun to tarnish Sebastian’s pristine reputation. Violet is ruthlessly determined to protect his memory at any cost. She entreats the aid of a young surgeon specializing in the new field of lobotomy, promising generous funding for his research if he takes Catharine as a patient. As the Doctor and Violet hear Catharine’s tale firsthand, a mother’s illusion becomes threatened by a frightening tale that may just be closer to the truth.
