 One of Broadway’s most neglected masterpieces, the romantic and achingly beautiful A Little Night Music deals with the universal subject of love, in all its wondrous, humorous and ironic forms

In turn-of-the-century Sweden, middle-aged Fredrik Egerman brings his 18-year-old bride Anne to a play starring his former mistress, Desirée Armfeldt Soon, Fredrik and Desirée resume their romance, incurring the wrath of her current lover, a pompous Count The situation culminates in a weekend at a country estate, with Fredrik, Anne, Desirée and the Count in attendance, as well as Fredrik’s son (who is hopelessly in love with Anne), Desirée’s illegitimate daughter, the Count’s manic-depressive wife and the Egerman’s lusty maid And there, under the summer night, things are set right

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

Desire is a complex human emotion and a driving force in our lives from childhood through old age We all can recall examples of literature, film, and music that are rife with expressions of desire But how do contemporary visual artists portray desire, and all its attendant psychological states—anticipation, arousal, longing, regret, and so on? The Blanton will present a major exhibition of recent works in all media by an international roster of contemporary artists who have investigated notions of desire
