The Glass Menagerie is a poignant story, set in the late 1930s, of an aging southern belle and her family trapped in a world of illusions, stifled dreams and quiet desperation. This classic play

by Tennessee Williams, who lived in St. Louis, is based on his own life and experiences and is credited with being the play that launched his successful career.

Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia live a quiet life in the Pennsylvania farmhouse where they grew up, but their peace is disturbed when their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in unannounced with her new boy toy, Spike. Also on the scene are a sassy cleaning woman who can predict the future and a lovely young aspiring actress. A weekend of rivalry, regret and raucousness begins, eventually leading to threats to sell the family home. In its own deliciously madcap way, this Tony Award-winning play offers some keen insights into the challenges and agonies of 21st-century life.

Follow us down the rabbit hole for this contemporary adaptation of Alice’s Adventures! You can expect the time-honored cast of the usual characters, nonsensical interpersonal exchanges and Jefferson Airplane-influenced soundtrack in this devised, collaboratively created production that won’t follow too many of the usual rules we’ve come to expect when we go to the theater.

You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown

Center Stage production of Nice People Dancing to Good Country Music, 2015

Matinee Performances July 29,* 30 2 p.m.

This revival of the original 1967 musical is a fresh approach to the comic book world of Charles Schulz. All your favorite characters are here: Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder and even Snoopy as they experience “an average day in the life of Charlie Brown.” It really is just that – a day made up of little moments picked from various comic strips and set to music. Come see Charlie and the gang battle with kites, book reports, baseball games, Valentine’s Day and childhood crushes before finally realizing what true happiness is all about.
