In 1947, Broadway’s hottest young writer brought a new play to Broadway. It was an exotic, erotic, passionate and dramatic story, with performances so raw they changed the American approach to acting for generations to come. Tennessee Williams’ masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire, went on to become a major sensation on Broadway and in Hollywood. Set in the steamy French Quarter of New Orleans, we follow the nervous adventures of a faded Southern belle, Blanche DuBois. This journey of delicate indiscretions, lost dreams and brutish actions leads Blanche to madness, aided by her handsome, masculine brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski. One of the greatest dramas of the 20th century.

Directed by Sylvia Haynie and Laura Voss

Box Office Opens to the Public on November 29, 2010

“Deathtrap” runs from October 15 – 24.

Macon Little Theatre presents “Deathtrap”, a Tony nominated, longest-running comedy/mystery/thriller and an edge-of-your-seat cat and mouse game with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very last scene.

Sidney Bruhl needs a killer idea. Once the toast of Broadway, his plays were masterpieces of the murder genre, but it has been years since his last hit. When unknown playwright Clifford Anderson mails Bruhl a script to die for, the desperate writer sees a lethal opportunity. This perfect plot is about to bend, to spiral, to spin totally out of control.

This ingeniously constructed play offers a rare and skillful blending of two priceless theatrical ingredients — gasp-inducing thrills and spontaneous laughter. This is both a compelling examination of jealousy, revenge and artistic rivalry and a drama of dazzling wit and humor.

Tickets go on sale October 11
