A one night only event…four of New York’s best actors perform every word of Tennessee Williams’ masterpiece. They have had 8 hours in the space beforehand, only one night to perform here. A theatrical high wire act with America’s greatest play. You have never seen a Streetcar like this, and you never will again.
Directed by Drama Desk Award winning actor, Nick Westrate (star of AMC’s TURN: Washington’s Spies and Broadway’s Casa Valentina), and starring Lucy Owen (Showtime’s The Loudest Voice and CBS’s One Dollar); Brad Koed (Broadway’s Death of a Salesman with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and PBS’s Mercy Street); Mallory Portnoy (star of Broadway’s Tony-Winning revival of Oklahoma!), and Will Rogers (star of Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies).
It is a memory play with no props, no set, only the sounds of the actors and the jazz music of Tennessee Williams’ New Orleans. An intimate marvel of the actors’ abilities. A visceral piece of theater that can exist anywhere…so quickly. Never performed the same way twice, this Streetcar can exist anywhere- from a Park Avenue Apartment, to a Barn in Vermont, to an abandoned mental hospital- to a movie theater in Millerton, New York.
“I felt like I was hearing the play for the first time…” -Tony Award-winning designer and composer Daniel Kluger
