THE HOLLY THEATRE AND NORTH GEORGIA COLLEGE AND STATE UNIVERSITY ARE PROUD TO PRESENT TENNESSEE WILLIAM'S...

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE

MAY 22-26^th, 2008

When Tennessee Williams' Streetcar Named Desire opened on Broadway 61 years ago, it marked a major change in American theater. The stunned audiences present as young performers Marlon Brando and Jessica Tandy played the primitive Stanley Kowalski and the delusional Blanche DuBois, realized, by the time the curtain fell, that everything they'd ever seen onstage up to that point had been artificial and shallow in comparison.

Rightly considered to be among the very best American plays ever written, Streetcar, deals with a culture clash between two symbolic characters, Blanche DuBois, a pretentious, fading relic of the Old South, and Stanley Kowalski, a rising member of the industrial, urban immigrant class.  Written in 1947 by American playwright Tennessee Williams for which he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1948.  It was both a critical and box office success.

The Holly Theatre and North Georgia and College and State University are pleased to present their first joint effort with this May production of Streetcar.  The project was created by Daniel Tracy, head of the performing arts department at NGCSU, Colleen Green, Artistic Director of the Holly Theatre Company and David Rothel, previous Artistic Director of Black Bear Dinner Theatre.  Birthed from those early meetings was the North Georgia Classic Theatre Project, which hopes of be the first of many community collaborative projects.  The project features both students and community performers, and students will receive class credit at North Georgia for their participation.  Featured in Streetcar Named Desire are Daniel Tracy as "Stanley, Alecia Gibson as "Blanche du Bois" and Christian Mims as "Stella".

 A Streetcar Named Desire will be presented at the Historic Holly Theatre, May 22-25^th. Thursday-Saturday at 8 pm and Sunday at 2 pm.  Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students.  Tickets may be purchased by calling the Holly Theatre at 706-864-3759 or visiting on-line at http://www.hollytheater.com/.  The Historic Holly Theatre is located at 69 West Main Street, Dahlonega.

The Holly Theatre is proud to work in a partnership with North Georgia College and State University to bring classic theatre to North Georgia.

Musical 

Book by William Hauptman and Music and Lyrics by Roger Miller

Twain's timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming, bringing to life your favorite characters from the novel-the Widow Douglas and her stern sister, Miss Watson; the uproarious King and Duke, who may or may not be as harmless as they seem; Huck's partner in crime, Tom Sawyer, and their rowdy gang of pals; Huck's drunken father, the sinister Pap Finn; the lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family. Propelled by an award winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music, this jaunty journey provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana.

Shows:   July 10, 11, 12, 17, 18. 19, 24, 25^th and 26^th at 8 pm
                July 13^th, 20^th and 27^th at 2 pm
