A cast of lowlife convicts and uptown swells sing a glorious score that blends nostalgic ballads, vaudeville, campy maximalism, and Broadway showstoppers. Bard alum Morgan Green ’12 returns to direct this kaleidoscopic, gorgeous, and utterly unconventional work, which premiered in 1965 at Judson Memorial Church—a center of the thriving off-off-Broadway theater scene—and transferred to off-Broadway in 1969. Estimated run time is 1 hour and 50 minutes. *Appears courtesy of Actors Equity Association |

Sunday, April 7, 2019 Desire
Written and Directed by Jack FerverWith additional text by Tennessee Williams Scenic and Costume Design by Jeremy Jacob Lighting Design by JAX Messenger Fisher Center, LUMA Theater 4:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Categorical thought shifts, blurs, and gives way in this new creation inspired by Tennessee William’s Streetcar Named Desire. Performers whiplash between wild theatrics and the hyper-real as they tear into the haunting and shattering effects of trauma. Childhood games become menacing. The crush of internal voices in emotional duress becomes external. Characters collapse and psyches merge on the frenetic seams of poetry and panic. |
