The theater is very hard to find. It shares an entrance with a yoga studio.

The stories performed were great. Many of the actors were green so it really stunted my enjoyment of the evening. I was unable to become invested in the stories.Written on Jul 25 2011

It was an atrocity. The acting was either completely over the top or nowhere near the emotion required by Tennesse Williams' elevated language. I only hope they cast this from some sort of class, otherwise I just can not fathom. It was good for a laugh, which by the end of act 1 the enitre audience was audible with. How did this show get poroduced? Sorry, but I will NOT be seeing a show at this company again.Written on Jul 25 2011

Thoroughly enjoyed the play, and liked the way it was put together. The set changes were cleverly introduced with screens and Williams' character describing the play before each one began.Written on Jul 18 2011

This is a really interesting performance of six short Tennessee Williams plays. They are all highly compelling stories that are tied together by a narrative about the possible murder of T.W. himself.Written on Jul 11 2011
I really like this theater company. We have dinner on the promenade then attend the shows. Its a great evening out.

Description
The Promenade Players pay homage to a man whose works are still stimulating and challenging audiences all over the world. The mission of the Promenade Players is “to produce work that is challenging, thought provoking and entertaining.” In Bed with Tenn fulfills that mission. All of the short plays have the bed as an essential component and the production has created the character of Tennessee to link the various pieces with some wry commentary and conflicting theories about his death in 1983.
The six short plays are:
Talk to Me like the Rain and Let Me Listen
Two outsiders can connect only in bed.
Hello from Bertha
A prostitute, stricken with "acquired" diseases, suffers schizoid delusions while grasping on to the memory of an idolized lover from her past.
The Lady of Larkspur Lotion
A “drunkard” and a “degenerate” find solace and compassion in each other’s fantasies.
Green Eyes
Written as America's unrest when the war in Vietnam reached a fever pitch, Green Eyes graphically reveals the effects of war through the sexual fantasies of a newlywed couple honeymooning in New Orleans.
The Big Game
Set in the men’s ward of a city hospital, the play raises the question of what really is the big game.
The Pronoun “I”
A whimsical fantasy involving a “Mad Queen” and a narcissistic “boy toy.”
