U.S. PREMIERE
Sydney Theatre Company
A Streetcar Named Desire
starring Cate Blanchett

"IN EVERY RESPECT, A SUPERLATIVE STREETCAR.
Cate Blanchett is an actress of extraordinary candour and fluency. From that first appearance to her final, shattering exit, Blanchett's performance is a brilliant demonstration of range and control."
--The Sydney Morning Herald

"RIVETINGLY INVOLVING!
Cate Blanchett's Blanche Dubois is magnificent. Liv Ullmann's production…reminds us how shocking this great play was and still is. Joel Edgerton's Stanley is muscular, uncomplicated and just sexy enough…but savage too. Robin McLeavy's Stella is…full of tenderness and strength."
--The Australian

"Cate Blanchett is gloriously different…a prize worth fighting, scheming, dying for."
--Time Magazine

Programmed by Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton in their first year as Artistic Directors of Sydney Theatre Company, A Streetcar Named Desire brings the sizzling 1947 Tennessee Williams drama to life under the direction of acclaimed actress Liv Ullmann. "Tennessee Williams's play tears away the veils and masks to get to the heart of these characters. Which is exactly what you might say is a hallmark of Liv Ullmann's work. We think this could make for a ripper combination," said Upton and Blanchett.

The Academy Awardâ€"winning Blanchett stars as the pretentious and pestering Blanche Dubois, one of the most challenging and nuanced characters in all of 20th-century stage drama and a role coveted by actresses everywhere. With a story that pits the false gentility of the southern belle Blanche against the earthiness of her working class sister Stella and her short-tempered brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski, A Streetcar Named Desire is a collision of character that keeps audiences holding on tight from beginning to end.
Performance Timing: Act I - 75 min.; Intermission - 20 min.; Act II - 90 min.

Notice: There are a limited number of full-price obstructed view orchestra tickets available for this engagement. They are available for purchase by phone or in-person, but not online. Please call (202) 467-4600 to check availability.

Sugarloaf Craft Festivals have expanded from the Mid-Atlantic to New England. Sugarloaf art fairs and craft festivals are among the nations best and largest shows of their kind. Industry publications that rank the popularity of arts and crafts festivals regularly place Sugarloaf Craft Festivals in the Top 100 and often in the Top 10 in the entire U.S. But our most important report card comes from our loyal customers. Each year Sugarloaf Craft Festivals attract over 350,000 patrons who purchase over $20 million in original arts and crafts direct from the artists. Attendance grows gradually each year and sales continue to grow for our artists. Sugarloaf Craft Festivals provide a low overhead market for artists and crafts people to sell their work.

The DC Convention Center is bringing its artistic side out. With a first-of-its-kind exhibit to fill windows and exterior gallery spaces with art, the Windows Into DC show is a reflection of our community. A little known fact about the Convention Center is that it houses a dynamic $4 million permanent art collection. With this new show, the Convention Center extends its inner-artists out to the sidewalk spaces around the building. This is the time to take another look at the Convention Center. Thirteen DC artists created installations and new artworks for the exhibit. "Filling empty spaces with art is a great way to beautify the community and connect with new audiences," says Windows into DC Artist Tim Conlon. "My Shaw Scrabble piece is a fun play with the words that connote the community. This way, area residents will see themselves reflected in the windows." The artists are: Beth Baldwin, Jason Clark, Tim Conlon, Liani Foster, Amber Robles-Gordon, Eve Hennessa, Michael Dax Iacovone, Anne Marchand, Cory Oberndorfer, Michael Platt & Carol A. Beane, Kelly Towles, Aneikan Udofia, Colin Winterbottom and featuring The New Community for Children. The entire DC community is invited to a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Mayor Adrian M. Fenty at 5:00 PM on Tuesday, September 29 at 7th & M Streets outside of the Mt Vernon Sq/7th St-Convention Center Metro entrance. At that time, young students from the New Community for Children will be finishing their three-panel art piece that shows their pint-size view of Shaw. Pick up a Windows Into DC brochure at the information desks located in the Grand Lobby. The installation will be open through March 2010.
