MMT Staff joins the Cast & Creative Team of The Glass Menagerie
The cast of Mill Mountain Theatre’s upcoming production of the classic drama The Glass Menagerie is gearing up for their first public performance next Wednesday, September 25th. Returning Roanoke favorites include Amy Baldwin* (Donna in Mamma Mia! and Diana in Next To Normal) and Logan T. Sutton (Pepper in Mamma Mia!)
Said to be one of the greatest plays in the 20th Century, The Glass Menagerie is the “memory play” that catapulted beloved playwright Tennessee Williams to fame. This riveting drama is set in 1937’s St. Louis, and follows the fragile Wingfield family: Tom, an aspiring poet, his painfully shy sister Laura, and their mother Amanda, a faded southern belle. Dreams and reality collide in this play of exquisite beauty. The Glass Menagerie runs September 25 through October 6 on the Trinkle MainStage.
Tennesee William’s The Glass Menagerie features Amy Baldwin* (Amanda), Logan T. Sutton (Tom), Lauren Wainwright* (Laura), and David Federman (Jim). The Glass Menagerie will be Directed by Peppy Biddy, Production Stage Managed by Jessica Taylor Edwards*, Lighting Design by Bill Webb, Scenic Design by Jimmy Ray Ward, Costume Design by Jessica Gaffney, Properties Design by Matt Shields, Technical Direction by Karen Gierchek, Sound Design by Savannah Woodruff, and Sound Engineered by Pat LoRicco. *Appears courtesy of Actors’ Equity Association
