West Springfield, MA (2/11/23) – A classic American drama takes center stage at the Majestic Theater when The Glass Menagerie is presented February 23 through April 2. Tennessee Williams’ play about family and the fragility of memory is part of the Majestic’s 25th Anniversary Season of theater and live performances at the West Springfield venue.
The Glass Menagerie tells the tale of Amanda Wingfield, the faded Southern Belle, who is desperate to marry off ailing daughter Laura, and worries about wayward son Tom. Saddled with the obligations left to him by his absent father, Tom, who also acts as the play’s narrator, arranges for an acquaintance, a gentleman caller, to pay a visit to Laura and sets off not only her own, but her mother’s hopes for a romantic future. This memorable play is set in St. Louis during the Great Depression and is widely considered to be one of the most significant plays of the 20th century.
Danny Eaton is producing director, while Rand Foerster is directing the play. Associate Producing Director/Stage Manager is Sue Dziura, and Stephen Petit is production manager. Aurora Ferraro is associate production manager, and Josiah Durham is technical director/set designer. Dawn McKay is costume designer, and Daniel Rist is lighting designer. Scenic Artist is Bev Stevens Browne.
