Cinnamon Schultz plays Blanche DuBois in 'A Streetcar Named Desire'

Tennessee Williams' masterpiece A Streetcar Named Desire won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948, has been called the greatest play ever written by an American, and the character Blanche DuBois is at the center of nearly everything that happens in it. It's a daunting role that Kansas City actress Cinnamon Schultz has spent months preparing for. No pressure, right?

Cinnamon Schultz stars in the Kansas City Actors Theater production of 'A Streetcar Named Desire,' running from September 7th to September 25th on City Stage at Union Station. For more ticketing information go to KCActors.org.
