“sometimes there’s God so quickly” at McCrory Hall

Actor and author David Roby plays 19 different characters in this one-man tour de force. The play will be at 7 p.m., Saturday, June 18, at the McCrory Hall for the Performing Arts on the campus of St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School. Sponsored by the Sewanee School of Letters, this event is free and open to the public.
“sometimes there’s God so quickly” is a chronicle of Roby’s travels through the Mississippi Delta, a quest for the elusive character of the late playwright Tennessee Williams, presented through a colloquy of the voices of those who knew him. The event is free and open to the public.
Roby was the Tennessee Williams Fellow at Sewanee from 2010 to 2012 (when he researched and wrote this one-man show) and is now Artist-in-Residence at the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Arts in Medicine and an acting and playwriting teacher at U.A.B.’s ArtPlay.
A graduate of the North Carolina School of the Arts and holding an M.F.A. degree from Illinois State University, he has also studied acting and playwriting at Oxford University, the Wooly Mammoth Theatre School in Washington, D.C. and the Playwright’s Intensive at the John F. Kennedy Center. His other plays include “Arts and Science,” “Unseen Character”(which concerns characters referred to but not seen in Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie”) and “Mercy Me.”
