\u201cLonely Hunter\u201d is the true story of novelist and playwright Carson McCullers, a woman who overcame tremendous odds to become one of the most influential writers of her time. Plagued by crippling illness and torrid marriages, her imagination provided a sanctuary that she shared with us all. \u2018Lonely Hunter\u2019 will span 35 years in McCullers\u2019 life and feature notable figures including her best friend Tennessee Williams, her prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Truman Capote, and her roommate Gypsy Rose Lee. <\/p>\n
Writer\/Director Deborah Kampmeier stated, “Logan is amazing for Tennessee Williams. People think of him as a leading man but I think he\u2019s also a character actor in a leading man\u2019s body. He is so talented and with his theater background and training he is perfect for the role. With such great work coming up for him we are happy he can do this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
