The Nassau Community College Theatre and Dance Department is proud to present the classic American drama “The Glass Menagerie” November 10 through 13 and 17 through 20 in the Little Theatre.
In “The Glass Menagerie,” illusions make life bearable for a family abandoned by “a telephone man who fell in love with long distances.” The mother cheers herself up with memories of her youth as a sought-after Southern belle; the daughter loses herself in an imaginary world of glass animals; and the son, who finds solace in the deadening effects of drink and the fantasy served up in the movies, is torn between love for his family and the need to escape before he, too, is lost. “The Glass Menagerie” was written by brilliant, prolific, but troubled author and playwright Tennessee Williams.
Tickets sold at the door for that day’s performance are free for college students who have a valid ID. These tickets are available beginning one hour before curtain.
