The Glass Menagerie is one of America’s great plays, written by Tennessee Williams and performed as part of TexARTS’ professional Off-Broadway Series The rather auto-biographical play was originally written for MGM and premiered in Chicago in 1944 and won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award in 1945 The Glass Menagerie was Williams's first successful play; he went on to become one of America's most highly regarded playwrights Williams (whose real name is Thomas) is largely reflected in the main narrator character of Tom, who recounts his life with and escape from his Mother, Amanda, and his sickly and (supposedly) mentally ill sister Rose would be Laura (whose nickname in the play is "Blue Roses", a result of an unfortunate bout of Pleurosis as a high school student) This union production integrates some of the region’s finest talent and brings one of our greatest American plays and playwrights to life with depth and quality

When Elwood P Dowd starts to introduce his imaginary friend, Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit, to guests at a society party, his sister, Veta, has seen as much of his eccentric behavior as she can tolerate She decides to have him committed to a sanitarium to spare her daughter, Myrtle Mae, and their family from future embarrassment Problems arise, however, when Veta herself is mistakenly assumed to be on the verge of lunacy when she explains to doctors that years of living with Elwood's hallucination have caused her to see Harvey also! The doctors commit Veta instead of Elwood, but when the truth comes out, the search is on for Elwood and his invisible companion When he shows up at the sanitarium looking for his lost friend Harvey, it seems that the mild-mannered Elwood's delusion has had a strange influence on more than one of the doctors Only at the end does Veta realize that maybe Harvey isn't so bad after all
