Marin Mazzie to Headline A Streetcar Named Desire at Barrington Stage
Three-time Tony nominee Marin Mazzie is set to headline Barrington Stage Company’s A Streetcar Named Desire. Mazzie will play Blanche DuBois opposite Christopher Innvar’s Stanley Kowalski in the production, which will run from August 6-29 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
Mazzie's many Broadway credits include Tony-nominated performances in Kiss Me, Kate, Ragtime and Passion. She has also appeared on Broadway in Man of La Mancha, Into the Woods, Big River and Spamalot. Her off-Broadway credits include The Vagina Monologues, The Trojan Women and And the World Goes 'Round.
Innvar has appeared at Barrington Stage Company in Private Lives and Cyrano. His Broadway credits include 110 in the Shade and Threepenny Opera.
Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire tells the story of the mental and emotional demise of the determined, yet fragile, Blanche DuBois in the squalid French Quarter apartment of her married sister and animalistic brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski.
The production, directed by BSC Artistic Director Julianne Boyd, also stars Sara Surrey Arena Stage’s Anna Christie, Old Globe’s Antony and Cleopatra as Stella and Kevin Carolan as Mitch The Ritz and Dirty Blonde. Emily Boyd, Miles Jacoby, John Juback, Chavez Ravine, Thom Rivera and Elizabeth Rouse are also featured in the cast.
The BSC season will kick off with Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel from June 17-July 11, which also stars Innvar and is directed by Boyd. The cast features Aaron Ramey as Billy Bigelow, Patricia Noonan as Julie Jordan, Innvar as Jigger, Sarah Jean as Carrie Pipperidge, Todd Buonopane as Mr. Snow, and Teri Ralston as Nettie Fowler. Also in the cast are Jeff Brooks as the Starkeeper, Leslie Becker as Mrs. Mullins, Edmund Bagnell, Al Blackstone, Daniel Kermidas, Kaitlynn Kleinman, Christy Morton, Ronnie Nelson, Neal O’Brien, Sarah O’Gleby, Kristen Paulicelli and Peggy Pharr Wilson. The production features choreography by Joshua Bergasse and music direction by Darren R. Cohen.
Complete casting for Barringotn Stage Company’s 15th anniversary season, which includes the Mainstage production of Sleuth and the Stage 2 world premiere of Mark St. Germain’s Freud’s Last Session, Glen Berger’s Underneath the Lintel and Rob Broadhurst and Brent Black’s new musical I’ll Be Damned in BSC’s Musical Theatre Lab, will be announced in the coming weeks.
