Photo Flash: Members of Congressional Black Caucus Visit A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE

On Saturday, July 14, several members of the Congressional Black Caucus came out to see A Streetcar Named Desire on Broadway and caught the stars and producers backstage at the Broadhurst Theater. The show is headed into its final performances; it is set to close on Sunday, July 22. Check out the photos below!

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE is set against the sexy backdrop of 1950’s New Orleans’ gritty French Quarter and tells the tale of a former school teacher and socialite, forced to move in with her sister and animalistic brother-in-law, who quickly gets a gritty life lesson in the steamy underbelly of the Big Easy. The production stars Blair Underwood in the iconic role of Stanley, Nicole Ari Parker as Blanche, Daphne Rubin-Vega as Stella, and Wood Harris as Mitch. The cast also includes Rosa Arredondo, Amelia Campbell, Carmen DeLavallade, Danielle Lee Greaves, J. Mallory-McCree, Aaron Clifton Moten, Morocco Omari, Jacino Taras Riddick and Count Stovall.
