In 1992, Erma Duricko conceived and directed 4 x Tenn, an evening of one-act plays and poetry by Tennessee Williams. The Lady of Larkspur Lotion was transferred to the New Orleans/Tennessee Williams Literary Festival that same year, sharing billing withEli Wallach, Anne Jackson and Edward Albee. From these auspicious beginnings and a shared passion for Tennessee Williams' work, Erma and five members of the production - Tim Brown, Dominic Comperatore, Kathleen Gilotti, Megan Smith, and Tom Wolfe - chose to further this collaboration. 4-Tenn Productions was established. In aspiring to our vision of an international production company, we've accomplished the following since our inception:

• 1993 staged Reflections of His Soul, an evening of twelve Williams' monologues for the Delta Tennessee Williams Festival and Actors' Circle in Scranton, PA.
• 1994 staged the Williams' one-act, Auto Da Fe for the Delta Tennessee Williams Festival.
• 1995 staged Paper Lanterns, an evening of Williams' one-acts for Actors' Circle.
• 1996 co-produced A Streetcar Named Desire, with Actors' Circle and the Delta Tennessee Williams Festival. The production received critical acclaim in both venues. 4-Tenn produced a staged reading of new plays by Megan O'Brien in New York City.
