Tenn Lovers tells the true story of three relationships which shaped the life of Tennessee Williams. It is an examination of the necessary endurance and resilience required for queer people to live and love, in contention with the external forces seeking to control them. Tenn Lovers is also a test of physical endurance, as Kristopher tells the story while performing high-volume sets of weight-lifting exercises with a single dumbbell, and the audience determines which muscle groups are worked.

Tenn Lovers is part of Theaterlab’s MELTINGPLOT– Running Monday, May 18 through Sunday May 31, MELTINGPLOT reaches across the immersive spectrum to provide opportunities to explore brand new participatory performance from 5 generative artists.
