We are looking for a diverse cast so all ethnicities are encouraged to audition.

Stanley Kowalski (mid 20s – 30s): A complex, masculine, and abusive working man. He is married to Stella.
Harold (Mitch) Mitchell (mid 20s – 40): Stanley's friend who went through the war with him. Mitch is unmarried and has a dying mother for whom he feels a great devotion.

Steve Hubbell (30s – 40s): The upstairs neighbor of the Kowalski's. Married to Eunice.
