Play Reading: Glass Menagerie
|
The public is invited to participate in the Library's Play Reading Group on Wednesday, May 20 from 6:30 to 9:00 PM at the Library, and every 3rd Wednesday of the month until summer. This month the group will read Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie. The play, which premiered in 1944 and made Tennessee Williams famous, is about a woman and her two adult children who live with her. Her husband abandoned the family many years  before. The son can't wait to get away and the mother is obsessed with finding a husband for her painfully shy daughter. The group welcomes inexperienced and experienced readers alike. The only criteria are the love of plays and the joy of reading them aloud among like-minded theater fans. For further information, contact the Blue Hill Library at 374-5515 or Michael Donahue at 374-5248, or Donahue.mg@gmail.com.
