A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE Comes to The Sherry Theatre in September
Performances run September 3 - October 1.
After losing her Mississippi home to creditors, Blanche du Bois relocates to the New Orleans home of her younger sister and brother-in-law, Stella and Stanley Kowalski. Undermined by romantic illusions, Blanche is unable to cope with life's harsh realities. Though she finds a glimmer of hope while connecting with Stanley's gentlemanly friend, Mitch, Blanche cannot face the truth of her own troubled past. She also finds herself simultaneously repulsed by and attracted to Stella's husband, the brutish and sensual Stanley, only adding to the stress of her current situation.
Tennessee Williams, one of America's most popular and critically revered playwrights, is the author of this play.
Steve Jarrard directs a cast that includes German Flores Alcala, RJ Cortana, Kathy Bell Denton, Joshua Farrell, Chuy Garcia, Wendy Garcia, Mark V. Jones, Harish Mandyam, Eve Richards, Jason Sino, Jennifer Skiffington, Kevin Grant Spencer and Meg Wallace.
Jarrard is a director-in-residence at Collaborative Artists Ensemble. His previous credits include How I Learned to Drive, The Food Chain, Lucia Mad, To Carry the Child, The Square Root of Wonderful, A Strange Disappearance of Bees, Long Way Down, Anatomy of a Hug, and more.
