Until he was seven, Tennessee’s family lived with his mother’s parents in Clarksdale, Mississippi. The middle child of Cornelius and Edwina Williams, the family enjoyed a wonderful life; his grandfather was a minister and well thought of in the community. However, Tennessee’s home life changed dramatically when his father obtained a job in a shoe factory in St. Louis, necessitating the family’s move. Away from the loving grandparents, the family unit seemed to crack and all but disappear, with Cornelius leaving for long bouts of time, and often coming home drunk and abusive. Tennessee’s mother was trapped in a loveless and difficult marriage, and while the three children had compassion for her, she was also stern and overbearing as she fought to keep the family together. Tennessee’s beloved older sister, Rose, suffered from schizophrenia and periodic outbursts, and his mother was preoccupied with Rose’s withdrawn nature. From an early age, Tennessee had struggles of his own, though his were with depression. Fortunately, his mother recognized that he was different from other boys and bought him a typewriter when he was twelve. Writing soon became his way of escaping from his tumultuous home life. In 1943, a 32-year-old Tennessee was lured to Hollywood to write scripts for Metro-Goldwyn Mayer. He disliked the job, but for the first time, he was holding down a steady writing job. Rose was hospitalized several times and in the same year that Tennessee went to Los Angeles, Edwina had reached her limit with Rose’s outbursts. Without telling Tennessee, Edwina had Rose hospitalized at a state institution in Farmington, Mississippi, where she gave them permission to perform a lobotomy. It was an act that forever haunted Tennessee, one that he never recovered from or forgave himself for, and it was that same act that led to his writing of The Glass Menagerie. The characters that inhabit The Glass Menagerie are all recognizable as the people from Tennessee’s world: Amanda is his mother Edwina, described in his cast of characters as "there is as much to love and pity as there is to laugh at. She has an endurance and a kind of heroism." Laura is his sister, Rose; Tom and the Narrator are both thinly disguised Tennessee. By placing himself in the roles of both the Narrator (telling the story as a Memory Play) and Tom, Laura’s younger brother, Tennessee attempts to rid himself of the overwhelming guilt he felt when he was not home to protect, and ultimately save, Rose. The resulting play is an American masterpiece; it’s simultaneously a recognition of Tennessee’s past and an attempt to move beyond his personal circumstances to become the artist and writer he longed to be. 4 CREATIVES TENNESSEE WILLIAMS

  • Dallas Theater Center Announces Changes to Season Schedule

Working: A Musical and Public Works Dallas’ A Little Less Lonely will finish out the 2020-2021 schedule. Unfortunately challenges in finding an outdoor venue have led to the cancellation of War of the Worlds. The next show will be Working: A Musical presented at Strauss Square in the AT&T Performing Arts Center July 7-18. Based on Studs Terkel’s bestselling book, this unique musical features the real-life words of average working Americans. Through original songs by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked), Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In the Heights), James Taylor and others, Working lifts up the voices of teachers, waiters, truck drivers and the essential workers who often go unnoticed but whose work uplifts our lives day in and day out. “Working is a glorious exploration of why humans strive to do a good day’s work each and every day - even during a pandemic. Simply put, we strive to build upon our parent’s dreams, to build our own dreams, and to build a future for our children’s dreams. Under the beautiful and heartfelt direction of Diane and Hal Brierley Resident Acting Company member, Tiana Kaye Blair, making her Dallas Theater Center directing debut, Working helps us understand the “American” dream takes many shapes and forms. We could not be happier to bring Dallas audiences safely together, outdoors and socially distanced, to share in this musical theater celebration of essential workers, generational dreams and our common humanity,” said Sarahbeth Grossman, Artistic Producer, Dallas Theater Center.

  • Performance Measurement Report
    THEATER SUBDISTRICT COUNCIL, LDC Performance Measurement Report I. How efficiently or effectively has TSC been in making grants which serve to enhance the long- term viability of Broadway through the production of plays and small musicals? The TSC awards grants, among other purposes, to facilitate the production of plays and musicals. The current round, awarding over $2.16 million in grants for programs, which have or are expected to result in the production of plays or musicals, have been awarded to the following organizations: • Classical Theatre of Harlem $100,000 (2009) Evaluation: A TSC grant enabled the Classical Theatre of Harlem to produce Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe at the Harold Clurman Theatre on Theatre Row in Summer 2009. This critically acclaimed reworking of Moliere’s Tartuffe directed by Alfred Preisser and featuring Andre DeShields was an audience success. The play was part of the theater’s Project Classics initiative, designed to bring theater to an underserved and under-represented segment of the community. Marketing efforts successfully targeted audiences from north of 116th Street through deep discounts and other ticket offers. • Fractured Atlas $200,000 (2010) Evaluation: Fractured Atlas used TSC support for a three-part program to improve the efficiency of rehearsal and performance space options, gather useful workspace data, and increase the availability of affordable workspace for performing arts groups in the five boroughs. Software designers created a space reservation calendar and rental engine; software for an enhanced data-reporting template was written, and strategies to increase the use of nontraditional spaces for rehearsal and performance were developed. • Lark Play Development Center $160,000 (2010) Evaluation: Lark selected four New York playwrights from diverse backgrounds to participate in a new fellowship program: Joshua Allen, Thomas Bradshaw, Bekah Brunstetter, and Andrea Thome.

    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.
