A Regional Premiere

It’s time for the annual “Hot Wang Festival” in Memphis Tennessee, and Cordell Crutchfield knows he has the wings that’ll make him king. Supported by his beau Dwayne and their culinary clique, The New Wing Order, Cordell is marinating and firing up his frying pan in a bid to reclaim the crispy crown. When Dwayne takes in his troubled nephew, however, it becomes a recipe for disaster. Suddenly a first-place trophy isn’t the only thing Cordell risks losing.

Cordell (40s) — the head chef of the clique. Recently emerged from the closet to co-habitate with Dwayne. In a not so former life, had a wife and 2 kids.

Dwayne (40s) — might not be the head chef but is the head of the household. Holds Cordell and everyone down. Has been a mentor to his struggling nephew for years. Holds resentment towards Cordell for taking so long to legitimize their relationship

Isom (30s) — new friend. Play lists includes gospel and trap and that’s exactly how he talks. Met the duo at church.

Big Charles (40s) — old friend. Met the duo at the barber shop. Observant, laid-back. The Rock.

Everett “EJ” (16) — Dwayne’s nephew. In need of guidance and a new home

TJ (35) — Everett’s father. A long-time dealer who is “about that life” Struggles with teaching his son how to be a man, but unsure if Cordell and Dwayne can be good father figures to his son.

Auditions Announced for THE GLASS MENAGERIE at Dayton Playhouse

Performances: March 13–22, 2026 (Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays)

Auditions: January 19 & 20, 2026, 7pm.

  • Attend one or both nights.
  • Auditions will consist of cold reads from the script.
  • Please bring a current photo and résumé, if available.
  • Please arrive by 6:45 to complete the audition form.

Rehearsals: Beginning January 26, 2026. Typically Monday–Thursday evenings and some weekends. Please bring a complete list of conflicts between January 26 and March 22, 2026. A sample rehearsal schedule can be found here (tentative and subject to change).

About: A story of love, longing, and fragile dreams, this American classic follows the Wingfield family as they navigate hope and heartbreak. When Amanda pressures her son, Tom, to find a suitor for his shy sister, Laura, their carefully built illusions begin to shatter.

Style: While the design will be expressionistic, performances should feel real, honest, and complex. Characters are big and bold but never caricatures (think White Lotus). This is a contemporary take: funny, dark, emotionally grounded, and sharp. Find the humor. Avoid the melodrama.

Roles available: 2 men, 2 women. All roles are open to actors of any race, ethnicity, gender identity, body type, and ability. Actors of all backgrounds are strongly encouraged to audition.

Please note: Light intimacy required for Laura and Jim.

Character breakdown:

  • TOM (He/him; 20s–30s)
    Queer; closeted, but thinly veiled. Sarcastic, restless, and too smart for the life he’s stuck in. Funny and guarded. Desperate to escape his dead-end day job and toxic relationship with his mother, but haunted by the cost of doing so.
  • AMANDA (She/her; late 40s–early 50s)
    Larger-than-life, faded Southern belle. Controlling but charming; fierce but fragile. An aging single mother trying her best. Vain, narcissistic, and deeply in denial, she clings to the shreds of the life she dreamed of, unable to face the truth of what remains.
  • LAURA (She/her; 20s)
    Strong, capable, and tender, but treated like glass. Introverted and intensely anxious, Laura escapes into vinyl records and fragile fantasies. We strongly encourage actors with visible or invisible disabilities to audition. Please do not make any disability-related acting choice if you are able-bodied.
  • JIM (He/him; 20s)
    Golden retriever energy. Charming, flirty, handsome, genuine, bright, and warm. A former jock who peaked in high school and is coasting on natural charisma. Confident, light, and easy.

Production Team:

  • Director: Matt Meier
  • Producer: Brandon Shockney
  • Stage Manager: Emma Allington
  • Set Designer: Rachel Robinson
  • Costume Designer: Kate LaFollette
  • Light Designer: Michael Lee
  • Sound Designer: David Sherman
  • Props/Carpentry: Tommy Baudendistel
  • Movement/Intimacy: Kayla Graham
