By Tennessee Williams, one of the greatest 20th century American playwrights, The Glass Menagerie, an intimate and beautiful story about family, dreams and the weight of the past, resonates across generations with deeply relatable characters and emotions.
From her cramped St. Louis apartment, Amanda Wingfield dreams of her days as a Southern debutante while worrying about the future of her aimless son Tom and unmarried daughter Laura. With their father absent and the Great Depression in motion, the siblings find comfort in their foibles โ alcohol, movies and writing for Tom and a collection of glass animals for Laura โ which only heightens Amandaโs anxiety. When a gentleman caller arrives for dinner, the Wingfields are flooded with hope. But itโs unclear if his presence will change things for the better or shatter their fragile illusions.
By Tennessee Williams
Directed by Troy Nickerson

AMANDA WINGFIELD (the mother)
A little woman of great but confused vitality clinging frantically to another time and place. Her characterization must be carefully created, not copied from type. She is not paranoiac, but her life is paranoia. There is much to admire in Amanda, and as much to love and pity as there is to laugh at. Certainly she has endurance and a kind of heroism, and though her foolishness makes her unwittingly cruel at times, there is tenderness in her slight person.
LAURA WINGFIELD (her daughter)
Amanda, having failed to establish contact with reality, continues to live vitally in her illusions, but Lauraโs situation is even graver. A childhood illness has left her crippled, one leg slightly shorter than the other, and held in a brace. This defect need not be more than suggested on the stage. Stemming from this, Lauraโs separation increases till she is like a piece of her own glass collection, too exquisitely fragile to move from the shelf.
TOM WINGFIELD (her son)
And the narrator of the play. A poet with a job in a warehouse. His nature is not remorseless, but to escape from a trap he has to act without pity.
JIM OโCONNOR (the gentleman caller)
A nice, ordinary, young man.
