“I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” – Blanche DuBois

This immortal line from Tennessee Williams’ classic ode to the French Quarter takes on a sudden and tragic relevance as New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf Coast struggles to overcome the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.

The Angelika Film Center of Dallas is proud to present a screening of the classic 1951 film version of ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ to benefit the American Red Cross Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

The screening takes place Monday, September 12 at 7:30 p.m..

A $10 (per person) minimum donation to the American Red Cross is required for admission. 100% of ticket proceeds will go to the American Red Cross for hurricane relief.

"A Streetcar Named Desire" is the story of Blanche DuBois, a fragile and faded Southern Belle on a desperate prowl for someplace in the world to call her own. Considered shocking and controversial in its day, the film won four Oscars including Best Actress (Vivien Leigh) and Best Supporting Actor and Actress (Karl Malden and Kim Hunter).

The film has become a classic and is included on the American Film Institute’s list of 100 Greatest American Films.

Seating is limited and tickets are available at the Angelika Box Office.

For more information, please call the Angelika at 214-841-4712.
