‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ Brings Southern American Charm to Winnipeg on June 11-18, 2025
A Streetcar Named Desire, one of Broadway’s most critically acclaimed plays, is set for a brief theatrical run in Winnipeg on June 11-18, 2025. It’s a must-see performance featuring a talented local ensemble directed by George Toles.
Written by American playwright Tennessee Williams, the play explores the dark yet very realistic struggle of adapting to a changing world with different societal norms.
It follows the story of Blanche Dubois, a Southern Belle grappling to accept her fading grace in the modern era.
We’ve seen many adaptations over the years, including a 1951 film featuring Marlon Brando, but nothing compares to a live theatrical performance. It’s like watching the story unfold for the first time again.

Heather Roberts, who portrays Blanche, will bring this play to life. We’re excited to see her alongside Justin Fry as Stanley Kowalski, Sophie George as Stella Kowalski, and other bright local talents.
A Streetcar Named Desire will run from June 11 to 18 at the Gas Station Arts Center on River Avenue. While you still can, grab your tickets at eventbrite.ca.
