BWW Previews: THE GLASS MENAGERIE Opens in Atlanta Tonight

Tennessee Williams' masterpiece play about a mother struggling to provide a better life for her grown children in the American South.

A former southern belle, Amanda Wingfield, fantasizes about the comfortable life she led before she married a telephone man who fell in love with long distances. Now alone with her adult children, Amanda fights for happiness and fortune for her children in a changing world. Her son, Tom, is an aspiring writer who is inching to escape his boring life at home and his job at a shoe warehouse. Daughter Laura is terribly shy and prefers to live in her private world of small glass animals. Everything changes for the Wingfields when Tom and Amanda arrange for a gentleman caller to come to dinner one spring evening.

The Glass Menagerie is directed by David Buice and features the cast of Gisele Frame as Amanda Wingfield, Stan Heaton III as Tom Wingfield, Christie Lee Fisher as Laura Wingfield, and Matthew Carter Jones as Jim O'Connor.

The Glass Menagerie will be presented in the Faith and Arts Center at Northside United Methodist Church. Performances are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night at 7:30pm. The box office open at 7pm each night. Tickets are $15 at the door.
