Second Stage opens with ‘The Glass Menagerie’

WSU’s Second Stage theater series opens its season with "The Glass Menagerie" at 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, Oct. 25-27, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 28. Performances are in the Welsbacher Theatre in the Hughes Metropolitan Complex.

The autobiographical play was Tennessee Williams’ first success.

"The Glass Menagerie," acted and staged by WSU students, is about a single mother and her two children struggling to survive during the Great Depression. Narrated from the point of view of a guilt-ridden memory, Williams paints a delicate portrait of a family as the world of illusion they have created to make life bearable collapses around them.

Prices start at $8 with discounts available. Call 978-3233 for reserved tickets.
