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.

The exploration of complex family dynamics and relationships is a thematic element in John Patrick Shanley’s Italian American Reconciliation.  This gritty, bittersweet romantic comedy will be brought to life Feb. 20-23 at Amarillo College.  “I saw this show at one of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festivals that we go to every year,” said Monty Downs, director, and AC theatre instructor. “I thought it was a lot of fun.  I then learned it was written by Shanley (Moonstruck and Doubt) and liked it even more.”  

The Amarillo College Theatre Arts Program in December will proudly present Proof, an award-winning drama that explores how the fine line between genius and mental illness affects family dynamics.The play, which has been described as a mystery, a love story and a psychological thriller all in one, features a cast of four and takes place on the back porch of a house in Chicago’s Hyde Park.
