MLT_Boston Marriage

5/29/24 **ANNOUNCEMENT**
It is disappointing that we must announce the cancellation of our June production BOSTON MARRIAGE. This is a decision no theatre likes to make or takes lightly but the circumstances were beyond our control. Season Ticket holders will be contacted by mail concerning this change.

BOSTON MARRIAGE
Middletown Lyric Theatre
June 21-29
[Middletown]

Directed by Clair LaNicca

Meet two “women of fashion” who have lived together on the fringes of upper-class society. Anna is the mistress of a wealthy man while Claire is infatuated with a respectable young lady and wants to enlist the jealous Anna’s help for an assignation. All while exchanging barbs and taking turns at taunting Anna’s hapless Scottish parlor maid. A wickedly, funny comedy.

THE GLASS MENAGERIE by Tennessee Williams
Amanda Wingfield is a faded remnant of Southern gentility who now lives in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura, who has a physical handicap and debilitating shyness. When Amanda convinces Tom to bring home from his workplace a “gentleman caller” for Laura, the illusions that Tom, Amanda, and Laura have each created in order to make life bearable collapse about them.

ROLES:
Tom Wingfield:
Male, mid 20’s to low 30’s. The play’s narrator, he recounts memories of his family to the audience. Languishing in a dead end job in the shoe warehouse, Tom is a restless dreamer, torn between his responsibility to his family and chasing his desires.

Amanda Wingfield:
Female, 50 to low 60’s An aging Southern belle clinging to her memories of a more genteel time and place. Deserted by her husband, she is left alone to care for her two children.

Laura Wingfield:
Female, mid 20’s – low 30’sSensitive and painfully shy. A childhood illness has left her physically impaired. She seeks refuge from reality in an imaginary world of glass animals and old records.

The Gentleman Caller/Jim O’Connor:
Male, mid 20’s to low 30’s A co-worker of Tom’s from the warehouse and a former classmate of Laura’s. He is your average, everyday, nice guy. He has an easygoing demeanor.
