By Tennessee Williams
Produced by Beth Marshall Presents; Directed by Beth Marshall
Amanda Wingfield is a faded southern belle who lives in poverty with her restless son, Tom, and
her painfully shy daughter, Laura, in St. Louis during the late 1930s. While Tom works in a factory
and dreams of becoming a poet, his fragile sister seems unable to find her place. Believing that
marriage will be the answer for Laura, Amanda pushes Tom into finding a male suitor for her.
What begins as a promising evening soon unravels, and the fragile fantasy world the family had
begun to build is irreparably cracked. Tennessee Williams drew upon his own life to create a
poignant tale that has become an award-winning American classic. Winner of multiple awards
when The Glass Menagerie was first brought to the stage in 1945, the play was a 2014 Tony
Award nominee for Best Revival of a Play.
Tickets: $28 ($24 students/seniors)

The classic animated television special comes to life in this faithful stage
adaptation. Charlie Brown is overwhelmed by the materialism he sees during
the holiday season and wishes to find the true meaning of Christmas. After
enthusiastically accepting the role of director for the school Christmas pageant,
he soon becomes frustrated by his uncooperative actors and their portrayal of
the story. After Charlie Brown selects a pitiful tree for the centerpiece of the
play and flees the resulting criticism, all of the Peanuts gang come to realize
what is important... now that Christmas-time is here.
Tickets: $23 ($19 students/seniors)
Special discounted pricing for children 12 and under for opening
night and Thursday performances.
This show is an abbreviated play appropriate for all audiences. Please join us
