<\/h1>\n

March 21st \u2013 25th marks the annual Tennessee Williams Literary Festival, though the famous streetcar stopped operating over 60 years ago. The festival remains part of the New Orleans Literary Festival. Williams stayed in New Orleans during one of his most fruitful periods, and the city became a source of inspiration for the playwright.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every year, the festival fathers some of the best actors, playwrights, authors and speakers at master classes, lectures, workshops and more. Aspiring playwrights have a chance to win a $1,500 cash prize, and the festival ties in with various foodie festivals around town.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, the most popular event is the \u201cStella!\u201d shouting event. You get bonus points if you dress up as Stanley Kowalski.<\/p>\n
