The Glass Menagerie - Touring 10-11

by Tennessee Williams
Bernard Havard, Producing Artistic Director

One of Tennessee Williams’ earliest successes, the timeless tale of the Wingfield family is brought to life in Walnut Street Theatre’s new production of The Glass Menagerie. The strained relationships of Tom, Laura and Amanda play out in Williams’ autobiographical play, encased in themes of the power of memory and inescapable reality for which this enduring drama is best known. Under the leadership of Producing Artistic Director, Bernard Havard, Walnut Street Theatre presents a riveting new production of one of America’s greatest plays. The 2011 tour of The Glass Menagerie marks the Centennial of Tennessee Williams' birth.

Founded in 1809, Walnut Street Theatre is the oldest continuously operating theatre in the United States. For 200 years, this venerable institution has stood the test of time to become a staple of Philadelphia’s, and for that matter, America’s cultural community. The Walnut’s landmark theatre has been graced by some of America’s most legendary performers, including Ethel Barrymore, Marlon Brando, Sidney Poitier, Helen Hayes and Kathryn Hepburn.
