'A Streetcar Named Desire' Comes to the Alley Stage

In 1947, Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire was introduced on Broadway.

A Streetcar Named Desire went on to become a major sensation on Broadway and in Hollywood. Set in the steamy French Quarter of New Orleans, the play follows the nervous adventures of a faded Southern belle, Blanche DuBois. This journey of delicate indiscretions, lost dreams and brutish actions leads Blanche to madness, aided by her handsome, masculine brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski.

Directed by Stephen Banks, this production of A Streetcar Named Desire is up-close and brings the characters to life on the intimate Alley Stage.  

"I don't want realism, I want magic," Jackie Estafen, as Blanche, said in a press release. In this production, Next Stage hopes you experience both.

The show runs May 3 - 18, Thursdays - Saturdays at 8 PM and Sundays at 3 PM.  

Tickets are $20 for students and $25 general admission and are available at http://www.nextstagetheatrecompany.com or by calling 678-744-6398.
