A Streetcar Named Desire - at Pentacle Theatre

A Streetcar Named Desire - at Pentacle Theatre Director: Ed Schoaps. Asst. Dir.: Jeff Baer. Runs: April 20 - May 12, 2012 at The Pentacle Theatre, Salem Oregon.

Please visit our page often to watch our production progress from concept through auditions and from rehearsals through closing night. "A Streetcar Named Desire" is American playwright Tennessee Williams’ greatest work, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1948. Williams created a timeless tale of subjects considered taboo when the play premiered, but that still resonate today. Set in steamy Ne

w Orleans, this riveting story revolves around two of the most memorable characters in theatre: Blanche DuBois, a faded flower of the Old South, and her young brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski, an unrefined brute whose sensual relationship with his wife, Stella, is a force of nature that Blanche can’t quite comprehend—or accept. When Stanley’s poker buddy Mitch takes a shine to Blanche, she sees her chance for redemption. But nothing comes easy when you have deep secrets to hide.

I'm sitting in the dressing room for our antepenultimate show, watching and listening to our cast get ready for our 7:30 p.m. curtain in about one hour.

We close Saturday night and I'm already starting to miss the dressing room chatter and the lovely, talented people--cast, crew and designers--who have made this fantastic run possible.

After sitting through countless studio rehearsals and more than 20 performances and dress rehearsals, this show is still fresh and vibrant every night. This is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of this entire group. Thank you all.

Thank you, Chuck Fisher and Salem-Keizer Development Corporation for sponsoring a great benefit performance matinee yesterday of A Streetcar Named Desire. Looks like your silent auction was as big a hit as our play was!

We had shows 13 AND 14 on Sunday. A matinee and an evening performance. Our cast and crew did a fantastic job on a grueling day. Everyone was tired but on a real high at the end of the evening. I am constantly impressed by the professionalism and dedication of everyone involved in this production. Well done, everyone!
