On March 31st 1945, Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie opened on Broadway at the Playhouse Theatre before moving in to what is today the Jacobs Theatre.
This classic American play has been revived six times on Broadway, the most recent at the Booth Theatre with A.R.T’s production featuring Cherry Jones, Zachary Quinto, Celia Keenan-Bolger, and Brian J. Smith. In celebration of 70 years of Williams’ work, come with us behind the scenes and before the show with Celia as she prepares to inhabit the role of Laura Wingfield.
American Theatre Wing’s Working in the Theatre documentary series features the most fascinating people on the stage, behind the scenes, and in the audience. From Tony Awards® and Obie Awards® winning artists to the next generation of theatre makers, we capture theatre’s inner-workings, industry luminaries, and unique stories that surround important work.
