Ballet film The Glass Menagerie at Jarvis

Jarvis Conservatory presents the ballet film The Glass Menagerie from Hamburg Ballet on Saturday, April 26, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Tennessee Williams established his reputation as a prominent American writer of the 20th century with The Glass Menagerie, a deeply personal family drama known as a “Memory Play.”  Initially staged in Chicago in 1944, the work faced rejection in Hollywood before finding success on Broadway. In 2019, John Neumeier reinterpreted The Glass Menagerie for the Hamburg Ballet incorporating elements from Williams’ life.  The ballet featured music by American composers Charles Ives, Philip Glass and Ned Rorem, along with snippets from Williams’ own plays.  Tickets are $20.
