We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, and neglected American dramatic works of the Twentieth Century… what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, not nostalgia or preservation.

Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater, and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all citizens, of all ages and all points of view. These Audience Guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate.

  • Chapter V Symbols and Techniques
    CHAPTER V SYMBOLS AND TECHNIQUES Although the main focus of discussion in the present study remains on the themes, the striking parallels are also found with respect to other aspects of drama, such as, symbols and techniques. Therefore it would be legitimate to discuss these aspects in the purview of the study. The aspect of use of symbols will be discussed first. The second half of this chapter will deal with the techniques used by all the four playwrights as well as the parallels between them. Tennessee Williams' plays are fiill of symbols. He makes use of a variety of symbols from mythology, religion, physical and biological sciences. He also alludes to current affairs. Most of the times, the titles of the plays, names of places and characters are highly symbolic. Coming to the names of places, the entrance of Tom's apartment is through a fire escape, the name of the club behind their building is Paradise Dance Hall. He terms all the Americans blind by refemng to their use of Braille alphabet. The devastation in Spain has been symbolized through 'Guernica'. Blue Mountain symbolizes Amanda's glorious past and youth. Apart from these names the title The Glass Menagerie and a unicorn symbolize Laura's life-style and her character respectively. The glass animals stand for her companions in her world of illusion, the unicorn stands for Laura which is unusual like Laura. The glass menagerie also symbolizes transparency, frailty, and dependence on outside source of light to shine brightly. The unicorn stands for something unusual and abnormal.

A.N.

His writing career spanned more than forty-five years, and his achievements have been recognized and appreciated by many critics and readers in the world. Williams' literary work was also under many critical controversies. During his life, he was awarded two times Pulitzer Prizes for his work 'A Streetcar Named Desire' in 1947 and 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' in 1955. He was also awarded New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for ''The Glass Menagerie''. His southern roots play an important role to shape the theme of his work where thematically attached to twentieth-century southern fiction writers more than any other dramatist of his period. Williams concerned much with absconders and isolated people who were treated badly and trapped in their inappropriate circumstances, and this was the outcome of the impact of the social protest in the 1930s. His plays are concerned with large individual issues rather than the social issues that differentiate him from his contemporaries by the lyrical language he used too.

  • Aactfest History
    AACTFest History AACTFest had its beginnings in 1957. At that time, the first World Festival of Amateur Theatre (Le Festival Mondiale du Théâtre Amateur) was held in the principality of Monaco under the high patronage of Their Serene Highnesses Prince Ranier and Princess Grace. The World Festival of Amateur Theatre was, and is, the official festival of the International Amateur Theatre Association (AITA/IATA). The typical American definition of amateur, implying a relative lack of skill, is not accepted by AITA/IATA. Amateur is used in the context of “to love”; thus, an amateur is one who does something for love and pleasure rather than for monetary remuneration. While AITA/IATA handles the international aspects, the festival itself is almost entirely a Monégasque production organized by the Studio de Monaco, home of the Cercle Artistique Monégasque d’Amateurs de Théâtre. Random theatres from America took turns representing the U.S. at this quadrennial international event. After eight years, the World Festival organization contacted the American National Theatre and Academy (ANTA). Through the offices of Princess Grace, ANTA was asked to provide input as to what theatres from the U.S. should attend the World Festival. ANTA felt it would be more appropriate to pass the invitation on to the American Community Theatre Association (ACTA). ACTA was the community theatre division of the seven- year-old American Theatre Association (ATA) umbrella organization. (In 1965 ACTA consisted of approximately 12 to 14 community theatres and had a membership of 40 to 50.) Howard Orms, the President of ACTA, contacted several theatres with no success.
