2024-2025 Professional Theater Season The Glass Menagerie

Tennessee William’s The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams, directed by Thomas Q. Fulton, and starring Derdriu Ring as Amanda Wingfield. Studio Theater, October 4 to November 3, 2024. Produced with special arrangement with Concord Theatricals 

Winner of 2014 Drama League Award - Outstanding Revival of a Play. Amanda lives in poverty in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura. Amanda strives to give meaning and direction to her life and the lives of her children. Her daughter Laura lives in her illusions with the challenge of a disability. When Tom invites a young friend to their apartment, for a shining moment in time, Laura is lifted out of herself into a new world. Is this young man the answer to their despair, or will the illusions they built to protect themselves come apart? Can others help save ourselves from the world we create?

“Astonishing refresh upturns a delicate classic“--The Guardian.
