Tennessee Williams' American Classic, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, makes a Cleveland stop at Mamai!

Pulitzer Prize-winning A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE follows the haggard and fragile southern beauty, Blanche DuBois, as her sudden arrival at her sister’s residence disrupts the marital home of Stella & Stanley Kowalski. Against the shadows and heat of its New Orleans backdrop where “you are practically always just around the corner...from a tinny piano being played,” this major 20th-Century classic erupts with legendary drama as Blanche reaches for a pathetic, last grasp at happiness, while Stanley fights to defend his territory and Stella must choose between sister and husband.

Director Mitchell Fields notes: “After having played both Steve, the upstairs neighbor in 1970 and Mitch, Blanche’s suitor in 1972, directing a professional production of this most remarkable play has been my dream. Thank you, Mamai.”

Mamai Theatre Company was co-founded in 2010 by Bernadette Clemens, Wendy Kriss, Christine McBurney, and Derdriu Ring. Mamai (pronounced Mah' may) is the Gaelic word for “mother.” Four working mothers, theatre artists, colleagues, and friends arrived at a place where it was time to create opportunities for themselves and their community. “Don’t wait to create” became the inspiration for Mamai Theatre Company.

Our mission is to create intelligent, relevant classical theatre that offers an artistic home for Cleveland's theatre artists, and equal opportunity for women in the professional theatre community.

In 2013 The Plain Dealer announced, “Mamai Theatre Company...has made a howling entrance onto the city’s artistic scene” and named their inaugural production, Medea, a top-10 theatre event of the year. In 2014 LandofCleve.net added, “In only a few short years, Mamai Theatre Company has established themselves as a major player in the Cleveland theatre community. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
