Breakdown

STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
by Tennessee Williams
Ken Neil Hailey, Director

Production Dates: September 18 - October 5
Rehearsal Dates: September 1 –17

2/3 AEA contracts available.
Seeking:

STANLEY KOWALSKI: Around 30 years of age. An overt, but effortless, sexual presence. The husband of Stella. Stanley is the epitome of vital force. He is loyal to his friends, passionate to his wife, and heartlessly cruel to Blanche. He sees himself as a social leveler, and wishes to destroy Blanche’s social pretensions.

STELLA KOWALSKI: Blanche’s younger sister, about 25years old and of a mild disposition that visibly sets her apart from her more vulgar neighbors. Stella possesses the same timeworn aristocratic heritage as Blanche, but she jumped the sinking ship in her late teens and left Mississippi for New Orleans. There, Stella married lower-class Stanley, with whom she shares a robust sexual relationship. Stella’s union with Stanley is both animal and spiritual, violent but renewing.

BLANCHE DuBOIS: Stella’s older sister, is a loquacious and fragile woman around the age of 30. Though she has strong sexual urges s, she puts on the airs of a woman who has never known indignity.
