The Streetcar Project, which presents the complete, unabridged text of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire with four performers, no props, and no set, will play dates in Colorado and New Jersey this summer.
The production鈥攃o-created by Nick Westrate, who directs, and Lucy Owen鈥攚ill be presented at Aspen, Colorado's Wheeler Opera House July 27鈥�30 and Asbury Park, New Jersey's Carousel House August 17鈥�19.
The cast will feature co-creator Owen as Blanche DuBois, Brad Koed as Stanley Kowalski, Mallory Portnoy as Stella DuBois, and James Russell as Harold Mitchell.
The Streetcar Project is arriving in Aspen and Asbury Park following
several engagements as well as earlier performances that were offered
in private homes, a SoHo
fashion boutique, movie theatres, churches, barns, warehouses, art
galleries, and factories in and around New York City. The hit production previously announced a San Francisco engagement next year at ACT's Toni Rembe Theater January 21-February 1, 2026.
A Streetcar Named Desire premiered on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in December 1947, playing 855 performances before closing in December 1949. Directed by Elia Kazan, the original company boasted Jessica Tandy as Blanche, Marlon Brando as Stanley, and Kim Hunter as Stella. The play would go on to win the 1948 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
In the Williams classic, when Blanche unexpectedly visits her estranged sister Stella, she brings with her a past that will threaten their future. As Stella鈥檚 husband Stanley stalks closer to the truth, Blanche's fragile world begins to fracture.
