“The Glass Menagerie” Performance by Capitol Shakespeare at ND Heritage Center & State Museum

BISMARCK, N.D. – Capitol Shakespeare’s production of “The Glass Menagerie” will be performed Feb. 9 at 2 p.m. at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum. The performance is free and open to the public.

Written by playwright Tennessee Williams, “The Glass Menagerie” premiered in 1944 and was Williams’ first popular success. Through the lens of the poet Tom’s memory, we meet him, his mother Amanda, a faded Southern belle, and his painfully shy sister Laura. Set in Depression-era St. Louis, each family member struggles to pursue their own happiness despite their means.

The performance is part of the State Historical Society of North Dakota's Sensational Sundays series. Sensational Sundays are free cultural programs that include a variety of lectures, concerts, movies, and tours. Free evening performances of "The Glass Menagerie" are scheduled for February 7 and 8 at 7:00 p.m.

North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information contact Erik Holland, curator of education, at 701.328.2792. Find a calendar of upcoming State Historical Society events at history.nd.gov/events.
