Tennessee Williams play provides unique directing opportunity for drama prof

Lionel Walsh, director of the School of Dramatic Art, is doing cross-border double-duty these days as he directs Tennessee Williams’s Summer and Smoke, opening February 24 at Wayne State University’s Hilberry Theatre.

Professor Walsh replaced Wayne State’s original director who was unable to fulfill his commitment due to health reasons, and relishes his first opportunity to direct a Williams play.
