Tennessee Williams News

A CHRISTMAS CAROL at the MERCHANT’S HOUSE, Charles Dickens in New York, 1867, is presented online by Summoners Ensemble Theatre in association with the Merchant’s House Museum.

The autobiographical world of playwright Paula Vogel comes alive in the illuminating and fragilely evocative “tone poem” of a play entitled The Mother Play at the Studio Theatre. This very moving and occasionally caustic play explores all the hard issues of life in a family—such as death, illness, financial problems and –above all—the dislocation that occurs from constant moving to new locations. (Indeed, the subtitle of the play is “ A Play in Five Evictions”). The Herman family is composed of a very peripatetic mother who has survived the onslaught of a divorce and unwanted children, but she passes so much rage onto her two children, and she drowns herself in martinis.

There’s a particular thrill in seeing a classic American play reimagined with both reverence and boldness. Theatrical Outfit’s new production of Tennessee Williams’ THE GLASS MENAGERIE, which opens its 49th season and plays through November 23rd, does just that. It effectively reminds us why this memory play endures more than 80 years after its premiere, while offering a fresh perspective and a deep, emotional resonance that will keep Atlanta audiences talking long after the final bows.

Atlanta is never lacking outstanding theatre, whether epic Broadway shows, engrossing dramas or bold fringe offerings. BroadwayWorld is rounding up our top recommended theatre every month. Selections for November 2025 include Hadestown and more.

Theatrical Outfit will open its 49th season with Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, running October 29 to November 23, 2026, at the Balzer Theater at Herren’s (84 Luckie St. NW, Atlanta).
