About the project: PLAYS: "A Streetcar Named Desire" "Making God Laugh" "Tuesdays with Morrie" "A Streetcar Named Desire": After losing her Mississippi home to creditors, Blanche du Bois relocates to the New Orleans home of her younger sister and brother-in-law, Stella and Stanley Kowalski. Undermined by romantic illusions, Blanche is unable to cope with life's harsh realities. Though she finds a glimmer of hope while connecting with Stanley's gentlemanly friend, Mitch, Blanche cannot face the truth of her own troubled past and ultimately descends into madness. "Making God Laugh": Making God Laugh follows one typical American family over the course of thirty years’ worth of holidays. Starting in 1980, Ruthie and Bill’s grown children – a priest, an aspiring actress, and a former football star all return home, where we learn of their plans and dreams as they embark on their adult lives. The empty-nester parents contend with their own changes, as old family rituals are trotted out, and ancient tensions flare up. As time passes, the family discovers that despite what we may have in mind, we often arrive at unexpected destinations. "Tuesdays with Morrie": Tuesdays with Morrie is the autobiographical story of Mitch Albom, an accomplished journalist driven solely by his career, and Morrie Schwartz, his former college professor. Sixteen years after graduation, Mitch happens to catch Morrie’s appearance on a television news program and learns that his old professor is battling Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

Bill is a typical family man; he lovingly puts up with Ruthie’s stubbornness, her more conservative view of life, and insistence on perfectly executed holiday traditions. He is a diplomat who tries to keep the peace, especially when tensions flare between Ruthie and daughter Maddie. "Making God Laugh"
Standard American accent. Richard is the oldest son of suburban couple, Ruthie and Bill. He is in his mid to late 20s at the beginning of the play.
