Scorchingly Raw ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ Rumbles Into Town
We’re jolted awake, and into an alternate reality as soon as we take our seats at Island City Stage in Wilton Manors. That loud crashing sound (could it be coming from the train tracks on Dixie Highway?). But then there are clangs and whistles and, ah yes, we realize we are here to see New City Players’ (NCP) production of A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. And while ten minutes remain till showtime, we’re already immersed in the world of 1947 New Orleans’ French Quarter. Where a trio of women sit languidly fanning themselves onstage or burst into jazz songs and dance. Meanwhile, the sporadic rumble of the loud streetcar will continue, along with musical interludes, to punctuate the drama or breaks between scenes.

FLORIDA CULTURAL ARTS GROUPS NEED TO ALIGN WITH PRO SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND AWARENESS
One has to think that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is playing the part of the famed character Ebenezer Scrooge in playwright Charles Dickens ‘A Christmas Carol’ as a Christmas in June production. DeSantis seems to be the real Scrooge. Last month, DeSantis vetoed $32 million that was earmarked for 577 Florida cultural arts not for profit organizations, leaving many of the companies that fuel our creativity and imagination with works of comedy, dance, drama, music, theater among other arts without expected government support.
