Volume 84, Issue 21 Web Edition SERVING BREVARD COLLEGE SINCE 1935 F^tetfitry 1:^2019 'Tennessee Williams' One-act play receives standing ovation By Kenny Cheek staff Writer This past weekend, audiences from around the community and from campus gathered in the Porter Center’s Black Box to witness an astounding sight; a two story house, decorated with a rusty fire escape, an old and darkened railroad track and little pieces of a story just waiting to come together. Directed by Catherine Barricklow, “An Evening with Tennessee Williams” was a small one-act of three of Tennessee Williams’s own works, presented by a cast so human and emotional that one could see the problems each stories characters bore on their sleeves. The stories, “A Streetcar Named Desire”, “This Property is Condemned”, and “The Lady of Larkspur Lotion,” explored the adventures of many people from different walks of life, living either worn out, abandoned, or used up existences. In the bigger play, “A Streetcar Named Desire”, the audience is introduced to Stella, played by Ki’Ara Jordan, and Blanche, played by Sarah Haga, both sisters having been reunited after misery took their lives. Stella lives with her husband, an easily angered emotional man Photo by Matthew Queen Mrs. Wire (Lisa Arrona) and The Writer (Kristian Michels) having an argument as Mrs. Hardwiche-Moore (Katelyn DiDio) ignores in the back in “The Lady of Larkspur Lotion” named Stanley, played by K’nique Eichelberger. Another character who shows up in the hopes of wooing Blanche is Mitch, played by Derrick Hill. The problem of money and living situations is clear throughout, and the tension between Stanley and Blanche is quite obvious; at many points, the two bicker with one another, never understanding where the either is coming from. Blanche, who imagines her wealth to be larger than it is, finds herself running from trouble rather than confronting it, after the death of her late young husband, whom she refers to as “boy” rather than “man” throughout.

"I found the experience to be quite educational, especially the seminars,” Opinion Editor Julie Carter said. The travel expenses for the trip to and from Greensboro were provided by a BCP mini grant and afforded the Clarion staffers to accept their See 'Clarion awarded Best of Show' page 5
