In the 35 years since the tragic ending of A Streetcar Named Desire, Blanche Dubois has been confined to an asylum. Tim McNeil’s new seriocomic play Blanche in the Asylum explores Blanche’s story as she fights for clarity of what she was and what she has become. McNeil (Anything, Isaac Babel and the Black Sea), an award-winning playwright, and Kelly O’Malley (Hera’s Devotion, A Light in Dark Places, Isaac Babel and the Black Sea) star in the world premiere, directed by Meghan Leone Cox (Trapped, Anything, She Who Hears).

Blanche runs for two weekends with all proceeds donated to Stella Adler Academy. Shows run October 18th, 19th, and 20th, as well as the 25th, 26th, and 27th in the Larsen Theatre. Tickets ($25) are available through Eventbrite. Any questions can be directed to the school at (323)-465-4446. Blanche in the Asylum is presented in association with Feckham Peckham Fulham Clapham, and is produced by Julia James.

A Q&A will follow the performance on October 20th, and the fundraiser will include a raffle with great prizes (including a free class!). Raffle names will be drawn on closing. Opening night will feature a reception with drinks and food, with suggested donation. Come out to support our school!
