The Glass Menagerie

A faded remnant of Southern gentility, Amanda Wingfield lives in poverty in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son Tom and daughter Laura. Focused on securing their future but shattered by her husband’s abandonment, Amanda collides with her children’s dreams and ambitions. While Tom feels trapped by his life – seeking escape through alcohol and the movies ­– Amanda pressures her sensitive, physically handicapped daughter Laura to find a husband, crushing their relationship and Laura’s fragile self-esteem. As attention turns to securing a suitor for Laura, Tom invites his acquaintance Jim to dinner, and the fine thread that connects dignity to desperation is pulled taut as their mother sees a possibility for her daughter. A drama of great tenderness, charm and beauty, The Glass Menagerie is one of the most famous plays of the modern theatre. “One of the immortal masterpieces of 20th-century theatre.” – The Washington Post Times & Days Thursday, Friday & Saturday | 7:00 pm Sunday Matinee | 2:30 pm Ticket Pricing: Adults: $15 Students & Children: $10 Tickets on sale at: E.E.
