Description: Growing up may be tough, but try discovering that dinosaurs exist under your bed. For twins Oscar and Olivia, that’s precisely the predicament. Amid 90s Dino-mania, the duo delve beneath their mattresses and unearth a wily world where velociraptors and dilophosaurus roam free. But when the siblings let their secret run wild, they discover the real monsters to be the naysayers who mock them. Adapted from Conan O’Doyle’s eponymous silent film, The Lost World explores the ugly phases of adolescence, the treacherous task of preserving our imaginations and the primordial struggle between chaos and control.

A Streetcar Named Desire
by Tennessee Williams

Location: Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt. Room 007.

January 28 – 30, 2015

A Streetcar Named Desire
Play written by Tennessee Williams.
Director Allison Lehman
Assistant Director Mason Brooks

“A Streetcar Named Desire” reveals to the very depths of Blanche du Bois, a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, which lead her to reject -so far as possible- the realities of life with which she is faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear upon her by her sister, with whom she goes to live in New Orleans, intensified by the earthy and extremely “normal” young husband of the latter, leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the end, to madness.

Presented by special arrangement with Dramatic Publishing.

Tickets are $5 in advance or $8 at the door.
Food will be sold during intermission.
