FRAGILE DREAMS, FADED REALITIES

February 21 – March 16

HUBBARD THEATRE

By Tennessee Williams
Directed by Rob Melrose

Williams’ American classic follows a family caught by dreams and delusion. Amanda, a faded Southern belle, yearns for a better life for her children. Her daughter Laura, however, would rather spend time alone with her collection of delicate glass animals, while her restless son, Tom, longs to escape the monotony of his current life. This memory play asks us to explore the delicate nature of human connections.
