Arshag Dickranian Seniors Present
`A Streetcar Named Desire’

Los Angeles, May 19, 2011 – The senior students of TCA Arshag Dickranian
School will be performing Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire May
25th – 29th. The classic American play will be another event marking the
30th Anniversary of the school.

Directed by the school’s English Department Chairman and professional
actor, Mr. Ricardo Rocha, A Streetcar Named Desire is widely considered a
landmark play and deals with a culture clash between two iconic
characters, Blanche Dubois, a fading relic of the old American South, and
Stanley Kowalski, a rising ember of the industrial, urban working classes.
This is Mr. Rocha’s 5th theatrical production for the school in his ten
years of teaching literature and drama.
`Our student actors are working like professionals, bringing the social
political and psychological truth of Tennessee William’s characters to
life. Watching them on stage will be a very rewarding experience for all,’
said Mr. Rocha.

The theatrical production is open to the public and will be held at the
school’s Walter and Laurel Karabian Hall from May 25th – 28th at 8:00 pm
and May 29th at 2:00 pm. For more information visit the school’s website

Make your reservations by contacting the school office at (323) 461-4377
or calling Shake Dzhulfayan at (818) 817 – 1704.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
