KOWALSKI is Gregg Ostrin's play imagining the pivotal first meeting between Tennessee Williams and Marlon Brando, set over one evening in Provincetown in 1947 as Williams searches for the actor to redefine the role of Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire. The play blends historical events with theatrical imagination to explore ambition, artistry, and the creative collaboration behind one of the most influential works in American theater. Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominee Johnny Galecki portrays Tennessee Williams in the production, directed by Colin Hanlon. The play arrives in Chicago following a critically acclaimed New York premiere.
