Sponsored by JPMorgan Chase & Co., the exhibition combines selections from THNOC’s wide-ranging Tennessee Williams holdings-many of them seldom displayed-with loans from multiple institutions, including a browsable version of director Elia Kazan’s production journal, Thomas Hart Benton’s celebrated painting “Poker Night” and the Oscar statuette awarded to Vivien Leigh for her performance as Blanche DuBois in the 1951 film adaptation. In a new exhibition, The Historic New Orleans Collection (THNOC) goes “ Backstage at ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’” to recall the iconic work’s creation and its lasting legacy. The first performance received a seven-minute standing ovation, and the play has virtually never disappeared from the stage since. Seventy-five years ago this year, Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire” premiered on Broadway.
