This adaptation of Streetcar was the first in-the-round play in Trustus’s 35-year history, and the theatre’s last full production before the pandemic hit. The project was ambitious but beautifully performed, and I’m extremely proud to say that my son was its director! A Streetcar Named Desire is a timeless classic from Tennessee Williams, and Patrick Kelly brought new life to it in 2020! The cast and crew worked tirelessly on this play, and the result was a positively stunning performance that is certainly deserving of the recognition as Columbia’s Best Theatre Production of 2020!

Here’s to Trustus, to my son Patrick, and to Columbia’s thespian community!
