Death of a Streetcar Named
Virginia Woolf: A Parody

Story by: Tim Ryder & Tim Sniffen
Written by: Tim Sniffen

The Circuit Playhouse
June 1st – June 24th, 2018

 

When a mysterious invitation brings Blanche DuBois back to New Orleans, she finds herself once again face-to-face with the smoldering Stanley Kowalski. They are soon joined by luckless salesman Willy Loman and hard-drinking couple George and Martha, and suddenly all bets are off. Add a folksy Stage Manager and the comic genius of The Second City team, and the question becomes: Will the American theatre ever be the same?

 Taking on the role of Blache DuBois is Resident Company Member, Kim Sanders (Perfect Arrangement, Heathers: The Musical). Joining Ms. Sander is Michael Kinslow (Ripcord) as Stanely with Resident Company Member Dave Landis (Shakespeare in Love, Billy Elliot) as George, and Tracie Hansom (Hand to God, Hot L Baltimore) as Martha. Death of a Streetcar Named Virginia Woolf: A Parody also features Memphis favorite Jonathan Christian (The Santaland Diaries, The Bridges of Madison County) as the Stage Manager and Mark Pergolizzi (Priscilla Queen of the Desert) as Willy. Death of Streetcar Named Virginia Woolf: A Parody is directed by Tony Isbell (4,000 Miles, Arcadia).
