Photo Flash: First Look at Syracuse Stage's THE GLASS MENAGERIE

The Glass Menagerie performs now through April 27 in the Archbold Theatre at the Syracuse Stage/Drama Complex. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

The Glass Menagerie is the play that launched Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tennessee Williams' career and is among the masterworks of the American stage. Drawn from Williams' life, this moving play explores the illusory nature of dreams and the fragility of hope. Abandoned by the father of her children, Amanda is obsessed with finding a suitor for her shy and vulnerable daughter, Laura. Tom, the restless and sensitive son who narrates the story, eases his frustrations with nighttime escapes "to the movies." At Amanda's urgings, Tom asks a co-worker to dinner. Can this "gentleman caller" offer any light to these bruised souls clinging to the tattered edges of lost dreams and faded hopes?

Cast members in the Syracuse Stage production of The Glass Menagerie are Adriana Gaviria (Laura), Elizabeth Hess(Amanda), Michael Kirby (The Gentleman Caller), and Joseph Midyett (Tom). Designers are William Bloodgood (Scenic Designer), Jessica Ford (Costume Designer), Dawn Chiang (Lighting Design), Michael G. Keck (Composer), and Kate Freer (Video Design).
