A Streetcar Named Desire Coming to
Meredith
Chopstick Theater, Charleston’s profes
sional resident theater company, will be
bringing its highly praised production of A
on January 9th and 10th. This Pulitzer Prize
winning drama of post-War New Orleans,
was the hit of Chopstick Theater’s 1990
FESTIVAL OF CLASSICS, continually
selling out. Tennessee Williams’ gripping
drama tells the story of a Southern gentle
woman, Blanche Dubois, and her struggle
for beauty and sanity in the heartless modem
world of her brother-in-law, Stanley
Kowalski.
This is not a Meredith Performs event, but
rather performances sponsored by Meredith
Theatre to help raise &nds for attending the
Southeastern Theatre Conference in March
atOriando. We are interested in presenting it
on campus fortiie studmts, faculty, and staff
because live performances of Streetcar are
somewhat infrequent.
Critic Carol Furtwangler said of this pro
duction, “the cast, with intensity and power,
recreated Williams; earthy New Orleans
ch^cters that were designed to shock au
diences four decades ago." As part of
Chopstick Theater’s 1990 FESTIVAL OF
CLASSICS at the historic Dock Street The
ater, Streetcar was an unqualified hit, con
tinually playing to sell out crowds.
During Ae day, the company will also
perform Fractured Fairytales while they are
here. The Raleigh and Meredith communi
ties are welcome to attend. Several groups of
children and parents will be coming to
Meredith to enjoy these performances.
