The Glass Menagerie

Fountain Hills Theater
11445 N. Saguaro Blvd Fountain Hills

Coming to Fountain Hills Theater, Tennessee Williams' memory play The Glass Menagerie is rightly considered a true American classic, a work that's lost none of its emotional power over the generations. Set in a Depression-era St. Louis tenement, aspiring poet Tom struggles with a mind-numbing job and a smothering home life. His overbearing mother, a former Southern belle, constantly pushes her son to bring home "gentleman callers" for his painfully shy sister Laura, whose collection of glass animals means everything to her. But when Tom finally does produces a male visitor, the guest's presence sends shock waves through the family -- and the fragile fantasy world they've built may be irreparably shattered.
