New York, NY (April 16, 2025) – Co-creators Nick Westrate and Lucy Owen today announced that The Streetcar Project is bringing its much discussed and perpetually sold-out version of Tennessee Williams’s landmark American play, A Streetcar Named Desire, to American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.)’s historic Toni Rembe Theater from January 21 to February 1, 2026.
An airplane hangar, a church, a bar, a warehouse, a dining hall, a movie theater, a factory, a library, a boutique, a barn…for the past two years The Streetcar Project has toured Tennessee Williams’ masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire, to unconventional spaces around the country — and now they bring it, for the first time, to a theater: partnering with San Francisco’s A.C.T.
Westrate and Owen have set out to create a production of the play like no other. By presenting Tennessee Williams’s complete, unabridged text with no props or set, this production is designed to be performed everywhere. It’s hyper intimate, completely unique, and incredibly revealing. It strips bare to the bones the greatest piece of American drama.
In A.C.T.’s historic Toni Rembe Theater, the ghosts of Blanche, Stella, Mitch and Stanley will haunt San Francisco for 14 performances from January 21st-February 1st, 2026. Come see the landmark site-specific production reimagine how this beautiful art-deco theater can hold a play. You’ve never seen A Streetcar Named Desire like this before, and you never will again.
