*“How beautiful it is, and how easily it can be broken”*

This semi-autobiographical account of the author’s early days in 1930s 
St. Louis mirrors the turmoil of Tennessee Williams’s own life. A 
heartbreaking yet often funny “memory play” told from the perspective of 
Tom Wingfield(portrayed by Joe Plock), THE GLASS MENAGERIE is the story 
of a family desperate to break free of the burdens of their past and 
present. Tom’s mother, Amanda (Janet Hurley Kimlicko), has been 
abandoned by her husband, and now lives only for her children; his 
unmarried sister, Laura (Jacqueline Donnaruma), is a fragile and 
painfully shy creature who retreats into a world of glass animals and 
Victrola records; and Tom himself is torn between his poetic 
inclinations and the responsibility of supporting his mother and sister. 
Each escapes into their own “glass menagerie” as a means of eluding the 
pain of their own — and each other’s — existence.
