"A Streetcar Named Marge"
402 9F18
Original Airdate: 10/01/92
Marge is cast in the role of Blanche DuBois in Oh! Streetcar, the musical
version of A Streetcar Named Desire directed by the flamboyant Llewellyn Sinclair
at the Springfield Community Center. Homer isn't very supportive of Marge's
interest in acting, so she uses her anger towards him for inspiration in some
of the play's more emotional moments. Acting opposite Ned Flanders as Stanley
Kowalski, Marge gets so absorbed in her role that at one point she nearly
slashes Ned with a broken bottle. Meanwhile, Maggie has been placed in day
care at the Ayn Rand School for Tots and leads a rebellion against the strict
teachers. Watching Marge perform in the play, Homer is moved and realizes
he should have been more supportive.
Guest star: Jon Lovitz as Llewellyn Sinclair
