AC Theatre Presents A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams

Amarillo College Theatre is proud to announce its upcoming production of A Streetcar Named Desire, one of the most revered works in American drama. Performances will run Dec.11–13, 2025, at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on Dec. 14 at 3 p.m.Written by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire follows Blanche DuBois, a fragile Mississippi schoolteacher who arrives in New Orleans seeking refuge with her sister, Stella. After stepping off the streetcar named “Desire,” Blanche enters the cramped Elysian Fields apartment shared by Stella and her husband, Stanley Kowalski. As personalities clash and long-buried tensions rise, the household becomes a pressure cooker of desire, power, and class conflict—building toward some of the most iconic scenes in modern theatre.
