AséDIRECTOR’S NOTEAs a queer, trans, disabled, and mentally ill theater maker I rarely see my experiences represented on stage. It is important to me that these voices and narratives are present in the theater that I create. Nearly all of these themes are present in the original text of The Glass Menagerie, the only one that isn’t is the idea of Tom, or Tommie, being trans. I have always heavily related to the role of Tom/Tommie and knew that I wanted trans voices in my theater capstone. Nothing in the script was truly changed to emphasize the themes of queerness, transness, disability, and mental illness. This may not be The Glass Menagerie that you remember but “isn’t it funny what tricks your memory plays?”PLEASE TURN OFF ALL NOISEMAKING DEVICES. The show will run for 1 hour and 45 minutes with a 15 minute intermission. There is no eating or drinking in Kander Theater.HEALTH WARNING for fake cigarettes with smokeCONTENT WARNINGS for racial slurs, transphobia/misgendering, ableism, verbal abuse, alcohol/reference to alcoholism, ableist slurs, familial verbal/emotional abuse, mention of gun violence, mention of drugs, sudden volume changes.CabaretDirected by Paul MoserDecember 6 - 9 Irene and Alan Wurtzel Theater
