August 16, 2009 at New Harmony?s Murphy Auditorium, features a company of seasoned performers with credits including Broadway, major regional theatre, film, and television. According to Lenny Leibowitz, artistic director, the season ?celebrates the American dreamer in all of her grace, fragility, and oddball exuberance. These plays ? ?A Streetcar Named Desire,? ?Harvey,? and ?Guys and Dolls? ? capture the limitless vitality of our nation?s spirit. When audiences first encountered these plays, they were finding their footing after a generation of war and upheaval. These three pinnacles of post-war American theatre ask us ? now as they did then ? to reflect on and re-chart our course. Their leading players - Blanche, Elwood, and Sky ? are inveterate dreamers who hold fast to their aspirations and ideals, resisting the inexorable drumbeat of conformity. They embolden us all to dream with ardor and panache.?
