The play dramatizes the life of Blanche DuBois, a Southern belle who, after encountering a series of personal losses, leaves her aristocratic background seeking refuge with her sister and brother-in-law in a dilapidated New Orleans apartment building. It was adapted for the screen in 1951, starring Marlon Brando as Stanley, which garnered him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.

A Streetcar Named Desire plays Jan 3 - 5 at the Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center, 8788 Metcalf Avenue, Overland Park, KS 66212. For more information, please e-mail info@priorproductions.org.
