Texas Wesleyan and Texas Woman’s open theater productions this week

The Glass Menagerie and Terra Nova are coming to the TWUs.

Terra Nova

  • Thu
  • Feb
  • 19th
  • 7:30PM

The TWUs of the metroplex are simultaneously opening shows this weekend. And with our current economic times, college theater typically means that you get a pretty reasonable price.

Theatre Wesleyan will run Terra Nova, from February 19-March 1. Written by Ted Talley, is a play that chronicles the journey of Captain Scott an explorer who leads his party on a race to the South Pole. Refusing the use of sled dogs as unsporting, Scott and his team struggle to drag their heavy gear across a frozen wasteland. Directed by Jeanne Everton and held in The Thad Smotherman Theatre. Call 817-531-5867 for reservations.

The Glass Menagerie

  • Thu
  • Feb
  • 19th
  • 4PM
  • Redbud Theater
  • 304 Administration Drive, Denton
  • $5 - $10
  • Age limit: N/A

Texas Woman's University will be presenting The Glass Menagerie for this weekend only from February 19-22. The play is often viewed as the most autobiographical of Tennessee Williams' works. Set in Williams' typical Southern environment, this drama unfolds through the perspective of a young man, Tom Wingfield (portrayed by Tristan Decker of Fort Worth). The story develops by way of his recollections of his controlling mother, Amanda Wingfield (Taylor Reed of Seattle, Wash.) and his sickly sister, Laura Wingfield (Brittany Fowler of Decatur). The plot is driven by Tom¹s aggravations with his mother's insistent search to find Laura a suitor. Things come to a boiling point when Tom brings home a co-worker, Jim O'Conner, (Daniel Pucul of Sherman). TWU drama program director Sharon Benge will direct the production. The production will be performed in the Redbud Theater and you can call 940-898-2020 for reservations.
