Photo Flash: First Look at Serenbe Playhouse's A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
by BWW News Desk - June 17, 2015
Summer in the South is swathed in heat - as the mercury rises, personalities writhe and drama comes to a boil.

The dark southern scope of Blanche DuBois' timeless and sultry tale of deception will be brought to new life in the industrial scenery of Serenbe's newly debuted Art Farm stage. There, the French Quarter of New Orleans will be resuscitated within rustic, recycled shipping containers to create a fresh, bold, timeless take on a true classic.
