Tuesday, January 17 at 7 PM

“The blistering sexual repression is the entire point of the 1950s. Quite simply, fabulous.”
— Times (UK)

KPAC presents Films From the Vault, a new series of classic films screened from our very own collection and the admission is free! Based on the play by Tennessee Williams, this renowned drama follows troubled former schoolteacher Blanche DuBois (Vivien Leigh) as she leaves small-town Mississippi and moves in with her sister, Stella Kowalski (Kim Hunter), and her husband, Stanley (Marlon Brando), in New Orleans. A feverish rendition of a heart-rending story, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE gives Tennessee Williams’ stage play explosive power on the screen thanks to Elia Kazan’s searing direction and a sterling ensemble at the peak of their craft.

Rated: PG | 2 hr 2 min | Tickets: Free
