The Glass Menagerie

Acclaimed Chicago director Lisa Portes helms our premiere staging of Tennessee Williams with a fresh investigation of the American Dream through the eyes of those whose connection is most fragile. Tom and his sister Laura live with their devoted mother, Amanda, a former Southern debutante. When Amanda arranges for a “Gentleman Caller” to come for dinner, her all-too-clear intentions force Laura and Tom to confront—in their own ways—the shattering weight of her overbearing expectations.
