WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Spring Storm is a classic Southern tale of adolescent rites of passage, with characters and themes that later made Tennessee Williams famous. Set in Depression era, small-town Mississippi, Spring Storm traces the romantic struggles of four characters against the backdrop of turbulent weather, rising waters and town gossip. The story focuses on Heavenly Critchfield, a tempestuous southern beauty, and the two boys she loves: Dick Miles, the rough-speaking, tough-living river rat who has the urge to follow the Mississippi, and Arthur Shannon, the well-bred, rich boy who has just returned to his small hometown from studies in England and is preferred by Heavenly's social-climbing mother. Directed by Coy Middlebrook.
Additional performances on Sunday, May 9 and May 16 at 7:00PM, Sunday, May 23 at 3:00PM. and Tuesday, May 25 at 8:00PM.

Recalling the Spring Storm reading years later, Williams wrote that Mabie listened to the play, which ended in that version with a woman completely disrobing, and said dismissively, "Well, we all have to paint our nudes."
