The Guthrie Theater's production of Tennessee Williams' iconic American play A Streetcar Named Desire, directed by John Miller-Stephany, is now in its final two weeks of performances in Minneapolis. Film and television actress Gretchen Egolf leads the cast in a critically acclaimed portrayal of Blanche DuBois. 'Desperate Housewives' star Ricardo Antonio Chavira (Stanley Kowalski), New York actor Brian Keane (Harold 'Mitch' Mitchell) and Twin Cities mainstay Stacia Rice (Stella Kowalski) join Egolf in the production, heralded by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine as 'one of those more-or-less definitive productions that people will remember for some time to come.'

The unraveling of Blanche DuBois plays out within a lily-laced atmosphere of heated passion and pulsing sweat, as Williams expertly weaves the heady throb of New Orleans and Blanche's softer, more delicate sensibilities.
