The Georgia Southern Theatre is now presenting "The Glass Menagerie" though Saturday, with 7:30 p.m. performances Friday and Saturday evening at Georgia Southern’s Performing Arts Center (PAC). Tickets are $10 for students, faculty and staff and $20 for general admission.
The Glass Menagerie is Williams's semi-autobiographical "memory play" about the Wingfield family in 1930s St. Louis, focusing on the narrator Tom's escape from his overbearing mother, Amanda, and his painfully shy, physically disabled sister, Laura, who finds solace in her glass animal collection.
Connor McCarthy plays Tom Wingfield, the protagonist and narrator in Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie." Tom often breaks the fourth wall, directly addressing the audience in Williams' groundbreaking play.
