Family members escape into illusion or elsewhere in The Glass Menagerie, which Stage on Spring will open on Wednesday.
The Glass Menagerie will go on March 5-10 at 7:30 p.m. each night. All performances are to happen at St. Marks United Church of Christ, located at 222 E. Spring Street in New Albany, IN.
Tickets for each show are $10 per person. Due to limited seating, reservations are highly recommended and can be made by calling 502-380-6569. Only cash or check will be accepted for this show.
Proceeds from all ticket purchases will go towards the St. Marks's clothes closet and soup kitchen missions.
The Glass Menagerie features the lives and illusions of the Wingfield family. The Wingfield family members find themselves either dealing with a reality they cannot accept while others attempt to escape. Among the people include a Southern aristocrat now living in poverty, a handicapped person forced to turn inward due to her mother, and an alcoholic who turns to movies for escape.
Tennessee Williams created The Glass Menagerie, which is based partly on his life. The play premiered in 1944 and became arguably one of Williams's best-known works.
J.R. Start directed the production for Stage on Spring. Cast members include Mera Kathryn Corlett, Georgette Kleier, Jason Roseberry, and Jeremy Sapp.
