Aurora Script Club Presents The Glass Menagerie 11/29

Berkeley's acclaimed Aurora Theatre Company presents the second Aurora Script Club meeting of the season with Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie. Placing personal dreams alongside heartfelt realities, Williams' cinematic memory play, written in 1944, parallels the tales spun by storyteller David Cale in his 2009 one-man play Palomino. Aurora Theatre Company Education Director Michael Mansfield hosts this moderated discussion series. The Aurora Script Club was conceived and developed by Aurora Theatre Company Artistic Director Tom Ross. In honor of Tennessee Williams' 100th birthday, all of the Script Club selections for the season will be plays by Williams.

Aurora Theatre Company continues its 19th season with the Bay Area Premiere of acclaimed writer and actor David Cale's new solo play Palomino. In this beautifully-realized play written for one actor, Cale inhabits seven different characters, both male and female, to tell the story of Kieren McGrath, a handsome, literate, Central Park carriage driver who dreams of writing a great novel. When he is offered the opportunity to become an escort to a number of lonely, wealthy women in New York City he believes he has finally found his subject. Or has he? Palomino plays October 29 through December 5 at the Aurora Theatre in Berkeley.
