Minnesota State University, Mankato Department of Performing Arts News Release

MANKATO – Minnesota State University, Mankato’s Department of Performing Arts continues the Mainstage season with Tennessee William’s “A Streetcar Named Desire.”

After losing her home to creditors, Blanche moves in with her younger sister and brother-in-law, Stella and Stanley Kowalski. Undermined by romantic illusions, Blanche is unable to cope with life’s harsh realities. Though she finds a moment of hope in Stanley’s friend Mitch, Blanche cannot face the truth of her own troubled past and ultimately descends into madness.

Due to the content of this production, we are partnering with CADA to provide community education and resources for victims of domestic violence. Resources will be available at the theatre, and patrons are encouraged to participate in the supply drive for CADA.
