The performance is free and open to the public Written by playwright Tennessee Williams, “The Glass Menagerie” premiered in 1944 and was Williams’ first popular success. Williams described it as a memory play, it is sentimental and “omits some details; others are exaggerated, for memory is seated predominantly in the heart.” Through the lens of the poet Tom’s memory, we meet him, his mother Amanda, a faded Southern belle, and his painfully shy sister Laura. Set in Depression-era St. Louis, each family member struggles to pursue their own happiness despite their means.
