Gregg Ostrin’s Acclaimed New Play imagines the pivotal first meeting between Tennessee Williams and Marlon Brando at Lookingglass Theatre Company
Set over one pivotal evening in Provincetown in 1947, Kowalski imagines the first meeting between Tennessee Williams and a young Marlon Brando as Williams searches for the actor who would redefine the role of Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire. Blending historical events with theatrical imagination, the play explores ambition, artistry and the creative collaboration behind one of the most influential works in American theater. Johnny Galecki, an acclaimed actor spanning television, film and Broadway, began performing on local stages as a child, and returns home to Chicago for this special presentation by Lookingglass Theatre.

About this event
KOWALSKI – Audio Described Performance at Lookingglass Theatre is featured on the Project Awaken Get Active calendar as part of accessible arts and theatre experiences — including ASL-interpreted, audio-described, and open-captioned performances — curated by the Cultural Access Collaborative. Project Awaken brings together listings from trusted Chicago-area partners so people with spinal cord injuries, mobility disabilities, and visual impairments can find welcoming ways to get active, connect with others, and try something new.
Events like this typically welcome participants of varying abilities along with their families, friends, sighted guides, and volunteers, and many are free to attend. If you are new to adaptive sports or recreation, it helps to reach out to the host organization ahead of time with any access questions, ask whether specialized equipment is provided, and bring a companion if that makes you more comfortable. Taking that first step — showing up, asking, trying — is what getting active is all about.
Please confirm the date, time, location, cost, and any registration requirements on the official event or organizer page before attending, as details can change. To find more opportunities, explore our full events calendar, browse Get Active grants and resources, or join the Get Connected peer-support community.
