"I met with Nick Westrate at Café Cluny in New York on a sunny September morning to discuss his four-person, stripped (all the way) down production of A Streetcar Named Desire, under the title The Streetcar Project, which is about to embark on a Los Angeles swing (it will play at an abandoned airplane hangar overlooking the L.A. River, Oct. 28-30, then in a warehouse in Venice, Nov. 1-3) before returning East for a series of pop-up performances at Yale (Nov. 13-16)."

I have this philosophy where we just keep walking through open doors.
