Saint Joseph's University Presents "A Streetcar Named Desire"

St. Joseph's University Theater closes its season with a stellar production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" that'll have you screaming "STELLLLLAAAAAAA!"

(PRWEB) March 29, 2004 --St. Joe's proudly presents one of Tennessee Williams most notable plays: "A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE." Set in the French Quarter of New Orleans during the restless years following World War Two, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE is the story of Blanche DuBois (played by Havertown resident Laurie Halloran), a fragile and neurotic woman on a desperate prowl for someplace in the world to call her own. The play follows her experiences after ending up on the doorstep of Stanley (Mike Tecce) and Stella's (Blanche's sister played by Dana Venne) home. The dynamic relationship between Blanche and Stanley puts Stella in a difficult position and explodes in each scene of the play climaxing in what ultimately leads to Blanche's downfall and descent into madness. This entrancing drama is directed by Renee Dobson and features a beautiful set design by professional designer Paul Weimer.

The show will be presented in St. Joseph's Bluett Theater located in Post Hall on Overbrook Avenue at 56th Street. Performances are April 16, 17, 22, 23, and 24 at 8:00 PM and April 18 at 2:00 PM.
