A Streetcar Named Desire

By Tennessee Williams
Directed by Chris Coleman

May 14 - June 19

  In the sultry streets of New Orleans, passions flare and cultures collide in Tennessee Williams’ iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece. Over the course a summer, Blanche’s southern belle facade slowly crumbles as she meets her match in the rough-hewn and hyper masculine Stanley, who is determined to expose her.  Learn More.

"I thoroughly enjoyed this play. The set was awesome, and a great cast. Demetrius Grosse was outstanding as Stanley! Deidrie Henry (as Blanche), Kristen Adele (as Stella) and Keith Eric Chappelle (as Mitch) were also fantastic! I have seen many variations of this Tennessee Williams play; this is one of my favorites!"

"I saw this play on Sunday. There was so much more to this play then I remembered. The acting was superb, and memorable. My evaluation is that it was remarkable. I shall see again during its run at PCS. Highly recommended."

"Enjoyed it so much that I went twice! A very balanced cast in a fabulous set. Stanley and Blanche are perfect counter foils. But when Stanley takes off his shirt the temperature rises!!!"

"This was so good! Such a great take on an old favorite."

"SO GOOD. Took my 15 year old son. He loved it. Acting, set design, music, all amazing."
