Encounter Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie through the prism of autism as interpreted by Theatre on the Spectrum. Although the term “autism” was not yet created when Williams wrote this biographical memory play about his sister Rose, his descriptions of the character of Laura, place her on the spectrum.
Original “surround” scenes and experiences will provide audiences with a greater understanding of the challenges facing people on the autism spectrum and their families. After the performances, audience talk-backs will encourage audiences to reflect on their own experiences and share current challenges and resources for families living with autism.
