THE GLASS MENAGERIE
by Tennessee Williams
First Rehearsal: July 15
Opening: August 9
Closing: August 25

Amanda Wingfield is a faded remnant of Southern gentility who now lives in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura, who has a physical handicap and debilitating shyness. The father has left home; Tom supports his mother and sister with a shoe-factory job he finds unbearable. When Amanda convinces Tom to bring home from his workplace a “gentleman caller” for Laura, the illusions that Tom, Amanda, and Laura have each created in order to make life bearable collapse about them.

Roles available:

AMANDA WINGFIELD: The mother. A woman of great but confused vitality, clinging frantically to another time and place. 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.
Gender: Female
Age: 45 to 65

LAURA WINGFIELD: Amanda's daughter. 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, Laura’s separation increases till she is like a piece of her own glass collection, too exquisitely fragile to move from the shelf.
Gender: Female
Age: 20 to 28

JIM O'CONNOR: A nice, ordinary young man.
Gender: Male
Age: 20-28

*The role of TOM WINGFIELD has been cast

Compensation: All actors and crew in this production will receive a $100 stipend.
