A Streetcar Named Desire
The Pulitzer Prize winning drama by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Stuart Meltzer
Content Warning: instances of emotional/physical abuse + sexual violence
In one of the most renowned plays of the American theater, Blanche DuBois, a schoolteacher from Mississippi, arrives in New Orleans and takes a streetcar named desire to the French Quarter, where her sister, Stella, and Stella’s husband, Stanley Kowalski, live barely above squalor. Blanche’s affectations of refinement set her immediately at odds with blue-collar Stanley who is suspicious of the circumstances of her arrival. The Kowalski’s French Quarter apartment becomes a pressure cooker of sensuality and class tensions, until ultimately erupting in some of the most iconic dramatic moments seen on the modern stage.

A world premiere by Vanessa Garcia
Directed by Elizabeth Price
Content Warning: language and sexual situations
Solis arrives in The City looking for a better future from 1000 Miles Across the Sea, a place that has been ravaged by wars, civil and global. The City is a conflation of cultures, citizens, migrants, immigrants, and refugees. It’s teeming with life, possibility, and a punk energy…but with a rapidly growing population, nationalistic impulses are starting to form. The very skills Solis brings with her could either save or destroy this new place she’s beginning to call home. Will The City take her in or wall her off?
