Ticket Alert: Coral Glades Drama Club Presents "Glass Menagerie"

Coral Glades High School’s “The Glass Menagerie.”

By: Jen Russon

The Coral Glades Drama Club is set to perform Tennessee Williams’ classic, The Glass Menagerie. This memory play premiered in 1944 and catapulted the author into a league of America’s most beloved playwrights.

Williams went on to write Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and a Streetcar Named Desire; however, before these characters existed, there were Tom Wingfield and the fragile women in his family, waiting on a gentleman caller to swoop in and save the day.

In this dreamlike play, audiences are given ‘the truth in the appearance of illusion.’ Characters are seen through a hazy curtained to create the feeling of tender memories — but rest assured, Laura Wingfield’s sparkly glass animal collection is something to behold.

Directed by Diana Focus, drama teacher at Coral Glades High School, the play is sure to delight audiences who love Southern writers who created their best works in the post-war era.

The cast includes Heidi Gruenbaum, Josh Simon, Zachary Krouch, and Emma Tessier.

Shows are on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, October 28 and 29 at 6:30 p.m., and on Saturday, October 30 at 1 p.m. Tickets are available online or at the door for $16. Student and staff tickets are $11.
