KEYSER - “The Glass Menagerie,” Tennessee Williams’ memory play, is filled with high expectations, and crushing disappointments. This intriguing, somewhat autobiographical play is based on its author, his histrionic mother, his extremely fragile sister, and the gentleman caller.
Tom, the author and narrator (Kevin Shreve), states at the beginning that this is a “dimly lighted, sentimental, and not realistic” memory of his life in a St. Louis apartment. He lives with his mother Amanda (Luann Lancaster), and his sister Laura (Tawney Jenkins). The gentleman caller (Hayden Davis), arriving at the end of the play, was a hero in high school, but unsuccessful since.
