The Department of Theatre and Speech continues the 2007-08 season with
The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams

Originally produced in Chicago in 1944, the timeless story of Tom, 
Amanda and Laura Wingfield was Tennessee Williams' first success and 
launched his career as one of America's greatest playwrights.  Often 
cited as one of Williams' most autobiographical works, The Glass 
Menagerie is a "memory" play that continues to challenge and touch 
audiences.   

The UTC production will honor the theatrical style originally 
conceived by Williams.  The scenery, props, costumes and lighting 
will step outside the realm of reality, as a world of memory and 
illusion surrounds the Wingfield family.  In the preface to the 
script Williams stated, "When a play employs unconventional 
techniques, it is not, or certainly shouldn't be, trying to escape 
its responsibility of dealing with reality . . . but should be 
attempting to find a closer approach, a more penetrating and vivid 
expression of things as they are."

The Glass Menagerie is directed by Gaye Jeffers.  Set and costume 
design by Sydney Roberts and lighting design by John R. Burgess. 
Cast members include Sam Fort as Tom, Jessica Wilson as Amanda, Emily 
White as Laura and Sean Henon as Jim, the Gentleman Caller.
