SAG and Theater World Award winner Heather Lind has joined the cast of the upcoming San Francisco engagement of The Streetcar Project, set to play American Conservatory Theater's Toni Rembe Theater January 21–February 1, 2026. Opening night will be January 22.

The project, created by Nick Westrate and Lucy Owen, presents the full unabridged text of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire with a cast of four and no set or props. The production has been playing site-specific runs in NYC; Aspen, Colorado; Asbury Park, New Jersey; and Los Angeles, California for the last two years, playing in private homes, a SoHo fashion boutique, movie theatres, churches, barns, warehouses, art galleries, factories, and other unusual venues. The upcoming ACT engagement will be the production's premiere in a traditional theatre space.

Lind, last seen on Broadway in The Nap, will star as Stella opposite Owen's Blanche DeBois, Brad Koed's Stanley Kowalski, and James Russell's Harold Mitchell. Westrate is directing.

“After years of taking this project to spaces unusual and unfamiliar, we couldn’t be more excited to have this team joining as we bring it to a classic stage for the first time,” say Westrate and Owen in a joint statement. “Stripping this iconic play down to its beating heart of language has always been our guiding light, and we can’t wait to bring the A.C.T. audience into Streetcar like never before.”

A Streetcar Named Desire premiered on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in December 1947, playing 855 performances before closing in December 1949. Directed by Elia Kazan, the original company boasted Jessica Tandy as Blanche, Marlon Brando as Stanley, and Kim Hunter as Stella. The play would go on to win the 1948 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

In the Williams classic, when Blanche unexpectedly visits her estranged sister Stella, she brings with her a past that will threaten their future. As Stella’s husband Stanley stalks closer to the truth, Blanche's fragile world begins to fracture.
