Classic 107: ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ set for performances in Osborne Village

June 12, 2025 — 

The famous cries of “Stella!” will be ringing down Osborne Street and River Avenue this week as The 28th Minute theatre company presents A Streetcar Named Desire. The production represents a rare opportunity for Winnipeggers to engage with the drama of playwright Tennessee Williams, whose works are not presented often in the community. 

“There was an MTC production of Streetcar back in the early 90’s,” recalls director and theatre professor at the University of Manitoba, George Toles (it was, in fact in 2000). “So much of Williams isn’t familiar to people here as a live experience.”
