One house, two eras. In 1959, the all-white community of Clybourne Park anxiously deals with the first stages of integration, while in 2009, the now mostly African American neighborhood battles to hold its ground against gentrification. As each one attempts to deal with the change, they reveal the consistency of human nature.

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.
