The play, set in New Orleans, features an all-student cast of ULM theatre students.
“These performances are filled with surprises,” said director Mark Clark, D.M.A., Professor of Music and Theatre at ULM. “Tennessee Williams had the ability to enrich a character just with the language, and there are many twists and turns,” he added.
The leading role of Blanche Dubois will be played by Rebekah Johnson, while Blanche’s sister Stella will be portrayed by Cherie Mialaret. Stanley Kowalski is double cast by Wyatt Sage (Wednesday, Friday), and Kade Matkins (Thursday, Saturday). Mitch is Callan Saldutto (Wednesday), and Landon Morris (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday). The cast is rounded out by Libbi Musgraves (Eunice), Brandon Latino (Steve), and Jesus Aguilar (Pablo). Gabriela Barrios is the Mexican Woman, Elizabeth Frison is Regina, and Ethan Lancaster is the Young Man. Gabe Wright is S.H. C.J. Haynes is the stage manager.
The play is directed by Mark Ross Clark, and Steven Burnside is the Technical Director. Margaret Hall is the costumer.
