Proctor Hill Theatre at the Tennessee Williams Center

Sewanee Community, This is not just another show. Notes from the Field is a gripping, urgent, and deeply human theatrical experience—and it’s coming to Proctor Hill Theatre for a limited run. Directed by Dr. Durell Cooper and written by acclaimed playwright Anna Deavere Smith, this production brings real voices and real stories to the stage—centering the intersections of education, justice, and the systems that shape our lives. It is bold, unflinching, and designed to spark conversation long after the lights go down.  Get your free tickets here —but seats are limited. Co-produced by Southwestern University in collaboration with Sewanee’s Office of Community Building and Connections and Troy University, this is a moment for our campus to come together—to witness, to reflect, and to engage.
