Tennessee Williams’ Garden District, two one-act plays, had their final showing Sunday to a sold-out Kennedy-McIlwee Studio Theatre. Both plays contained themes of homosexuality and human desire that were considered even more sensational during Williams’ time. Lynda Clark, who played Violet
Venable, and Jan Morgan, who played Cornelia Scott, were both featured guests in the plays. Yamila Monge, a freshman in psychology, portrayed Sister Felicity in Suddenly, Last Summer. “In the play, I was basically protecting [Catherine Holly],” Monge said. “Tennessee Williams always has this thing against the Catholic Church and I’m more of a metaphor than anything else.” Playing the character had its trials and tribulations, Monge said. “Personally, being a nun was kind of difficult because in real life I’m the opposite of a nun. I’m really loud and
outspoken. Being more concerned and reserved, that took a lot of work,” Monge said. Monge further detailed how she was able to collaborate with Lynda Clark. “Just the way she prepares for a role, she becomes the person, like she feels the emotions and she expresses it in everything…and I just thought that wasn’t an easy thing to do,” Monge said. “I learned so much from what she had to offer and I’m glad I was able to work with her.”
