Synopsis:

In Tennessee Williams’ explosive and groundbreaking Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, the seemingly refined Blanche DuBois relocates to the New Orleans home of her sister and brother-in-law, Stella and Stanley Kowalski, where she finds herself instantly at odds with Stanley. Through the course of the play, the Kowalskis’ apartment becomes a pressure cooker of sensuality and class tensions, until ultimately erupting into some of the most iconic dramatic moments seen on the modern stage.

Character Breakdown:

Blanche DuBois: female, stage age 30 to 32
Blanche is Stella’s older sister; she projects herself as a delicate, demure Southern belle. While giving the perception of old-South charm in what sometimes seems to be a fantasy world of her own creation, she’s unable to completely conceal her underlying sensuality. She’s suffered a lot of personal trauma and financial loss, and it’s pushed her to a desperate brink.

Stella Kowalski: female, stage age 25 to 27
Stella is Blanche’s younger sister and Stanley’s wife; she is warm, genuine, and much more practical and rooted in the real world than Blanche; she is completely devoted and passionately attracted to Stanley in spite of his sometimes rough and physically abusive treatment of her—for which she always forgives him.

Stanley Kowalski: male, stage age 28 to 30
Stanley is Stella’s husband; he’s rough, crude, physically strong, has a domineering presence, and is intensely proud of his masculinity and social position. Admired by his friends, he’s used to getting his way and succeeding by a combination of force of will and physical prowess. He loves Stella passionately but deals with frustration and disappointment in the only way he knows how—lashing out physically, often at Stella.

Harold “Mitch” Mitchell: male, stage age 28 to 30
Mitch is Stanley’s best friend; they served together in WW2. He’s single due to a combination of shyness, a lack of confidence, and living with his ailing mother. Affable and friendly, he becomes fascinated with Blanche, seeing her as an exotic, cultured woman compared with everything else in his life and he pursues her romantically.

Eunice Hubbell: female, stage age 40s
Eunice is Stella and Stanley’s upstairs neighbor and landlord, and wife to Steve. Eunice is sturdy and crude enough to keep up with the boys at the bar. She’s a friend to Stella and protective of her when Stanley gets physical, a bond they share due to her suffering similar abuse from Steve.

Steve Hubbell: male, stage age 40s
Steve is Stella and Stanley’s upstairs neighbor and husband to Eunice. He’s Stanley’s friend, bowling teammate, and part of the regular poker game. He is like Stanley in several ways, including taking out his frustrations physically on his wife.

Young Collector: male, stage age 18 to 22
A young man who comes to the Kowalskis’ to collect payment for the newspaper. He is polite, professional, and made uncomfortable by Blanche’s overt flirtations.

Pablo Gonzales: male, stage age 30s
Pablo is a poker buddy of Mitch, Steve, and Stanley. He’s of Hispanic descent, and his easy acceptance in the group points to the growing diversity of New Orleans, and particularly the Kowalskis’ neighborhood.

Strange Woman (Nurse): female, stage age 40s to 60s
She’s the harsh, unsympathetic, and firm nurse who attempts to physically coerce Blanche to accompany her and the Doctor to the sanitarium.

Strange Man (Doctor): male, stage age 50s
The kind, quiet doctor who uses his gentleness and calm demeanor to convince Blanche to accompany him to the sanitarium at the play’s end.

Hispanic Woman: female, stage age 40s to 60s
A Hispanic woman who makes several appearances selling “flores por los muertos,” or “flowers for the dead.”

African American Woman: female, stage age 30s to 50s
A friend of Eunice’s who meets Blanche when she appears on Stella’s doorstep. 

NOTE: Director reserves the right to cast an actor in multiple, smaller roles, pending auditions. No roles are being pre-cast.

Auditions Announced for TRANSORBITAL at Center Stage Players

CenterStage Players, Inc. announces auditions for the premiere  of TRANSORBITAL by Nathan Singer, adapted from his novel of the same name.

Directed by Tom Peters and Produced by Fred Hunt

TRANSORBITAL is historical fiction that follows the exploits of superstar lobotomist Dr. Walter Freeman. With his trusty ice pick in hand and his loyal—though erratic—sidekick, The Kid, riding shotgun, Freeman drives his Lobotomobile coast to coast across post-war America, determined to save the country from its own troubled mind. With messianic fervor, an evangelist’s sense of righteousness, and a jazzman’s gift for improvisation (and showmanship), Doc Freeman is quickly gaining converts, and notoriety. All is going just well, until a number of Freeman’s former protégés start turning up dead.
Creepy, grimy, and darkly humorous, Transorbital is an off-kilter twist on the old pulp whodunit.
