A Streetcar Named Desire at Northfield Mount Hermon

November 23, 2004

NORTHFIELD, Mass—The Northfield Mount Hermon School’s theatre department announces its production of Tennessee Williams’s classic American drama, A Streetcar Named Desire.

The play takes place in New Orleans and is about adult relationships, the drama of dreams and their destruction in the lives of a woman, her husband, and her sister. The character of Stanley Kowalski has become an iconic figure in mid-20th-century theatre. The roles are challenging, as Williams’s plays are recognized as benchmarks for good acting. Starring are Julian Giat ’06 as Stanley, Andrea Sepenzis ’05 as Stella, and Devon Werden ’05 as Blanche Dubois.

The play will be seen on Thursday, December 9, at 7 pm; and Friday and Saturday, December 10 and 11, at 7:30 pm. All performances will be in the Silverthorne Theatre on the school’s Northfield campus. Admission is $2 for NMH students, faculty, and staff, and $5 for all others. Seating is limited, so reservations are strongly recommended. They may be made via e-mail at david_rowland@nmhschool.org.
