THE GLASS MENAGERIE by Tennessee Williams

Set in St Louis, the play follows the life of the Wingfield family. Tom, a factory worker, is torn between his role as the family breadwinner and the desire to lead a life of his own. Amanda, his abrasive mother, once a grand Southern socialite is trying to maintain her dignity amidst the gloom of the tenement. Meanwhile, Tom's frail sister, Laura, retreats to an imaginary world caring for her collection of glass animals until the arrival of a gentlemen caller provides her with the hope of a different kind of escape.

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Burt Shevelove & Larry Gelbart
"Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!" Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written - the perfect escape from live's troubles. Based on the plays "Miles glorious", "Pseudolus", and "Mostellaria" by Plautus (251-183 B.C.), the show is a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom.
