A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE Opens Tonight at The Ringwald Theatre

The Ringwald Theatre continues is Season of Classics with a new production of a true American classic, Tennessee Williams' A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE.

It is a very short list of 20th-century American plays that continue to have the same power and impact as when they first appeared?68 years after its Broadway premiere, Tennessee Williams' A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE is one of those plays. The story famously recounts how the faded and promiscuous Blanche DuBois loses the family home and is forced to live with her sister Stella and Stella's husband Stanley Kowalski. Blanche soon engages in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with her animalistic brother-in-law which leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the end, tragedy.

Director Travis Reiff offers a fresh interpretation of the classic script. The cast includes Jamie Warrow, Meredith Deighton, Michael Lopetrone, Brandy Joe Plambeck, Keith Kalinowski, Lauren Bickers, Justino Solis, Mona Lucius, and Greg Ettleman.The set design is by Alexander Carr; costume design by Barbie Weisserman, sound design by Mr. Reiff; lighting design by Mr. Plambeck. Stage Management is by Matt Lira.
