The Glass Menagerie is the play that launched Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tennessee Williams' career and is among the masterworks of the American stage. Drawn from Williams' life, this moving play explores the illusory nature of dreams and the fragility of hope.

Tom, the restless and sensitive son who narrates the story, eases his frustrations with nighttime escapes 'to the movies.' At Amanda's urgings, Tom asks a co-worker to dinner. Can this 'gentleman caller' offer any light to these bruised souls clinging to the tattered edges of lost dreams and faded hopes?

Death has existed as long as life itself and yet, it is still considered taboo-a topic seemingly exclusive to medical professionals, clergymen and undertakers. The repression of death from society's consciousness only makes it more terrifying and gloomy. Jon Underwood, pioneer of the Death Café, suggests that avoiding the subject of dying strips people of the agency over one of the most significant things they will have to eventually face. He started Death Cafés to 'increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.' Donna Corso also shares the belief that openness towards the universal and ever-present reality of death is a necessary part of life. In her new book, When the Wind Chimes Chime: Ending the Greatest Fear of All, she examines the significant topic of end of life choices and the fear of dying in the light of the true story of Andraez, a 7-year-old boy who died from bone cancer.
