Local theater groups to stage
production of Williams classic

Stuff of Dreams and Bigger Boat Productions announce the production of Tennessee Williams’ classic drama “The Glass Menagerie,” which will stream on May 28, 29 and on June 4, 5 via the ShowTix4U platform.

According to a media release, “The play is a tender, and sometimes bitter, memory of the Wingfield family, with matriarch Amanda Wingfield watching over her children, Tom and Laura, and attempting to control their lives. Her one great wish is to have a ‘Gentleman Caller’ come see Laura, marry her, and take her out of her life of illusions with her collection of glass animals. Tom’s ambition is to free himself from his mother’s nagging and get away from their dingy St. Louis apartment.”

Local actors Michael Tamburrino, Lissa Sidoli, Caitlin Liberati and Casey Thomas tell Williams’ story, under the direction of Gary E. Stevens.

Tickets are $15 for the video-on-demand event and are on sale now.

Tickets for the May streaming may be purchased at www.showtix4u.com/event-details/49856.

Tickets for the June streaming may be purchased at www.showtix4u.com/event-details/49861.

“The Glass Menagerie,” is presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc. on behalf of The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee.
