description

Maryland Ensemble Theatre presents The Glass Menagerie By Tennessee Williams February 7 – March 3, 2013 “Glass may break, candles may go out, but The Glass Menagerie endures. Unarguably one of the greatest American plays ever written.” Broadway Magazine The Glass Menagerie is an American masterpiece that announced the presence of one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th Century. Williams’ semi-autobiographical heartbreaking yet often humorous memory play about a young struggling poet and his tenuous reationships with his overbearing mother and his fragile sister is an emotionally charged portrait of hope in 1930s St. Louis that is timeless in its ability to capture the imagination and hearts of audiences.

from the Artistic Director15 years!To reflect on the past 15 years brings quite a flood of emotions, images, and stories. From October 1997 to June of 1998 we managed an all volunteer army to clean, paint, build, and ready the old McCrory’s building to become a theatre space and arts center. In 2001, we opened at this location. So, when you see the signs around this block that say “Theatre District”- that is because of your support!The original inception of this organization was to serve different needs to different communities of audience by energizing them to

the art of theatre. On any given week we are teaching young and adult students with The Ensemble School, providing a “first time” on stage to elementary school kids in our after school program, reaching the college community by making specific programming choices that serve their needs, and bringing new, vibrant pieces to our community. Just since April we have seen an original adaptation of a classic, we’ve had a broad musical comedy, a piece written from the voices of women in our community, an adaptation of a classic children’s novel, a late night bizzaro comedy, and a piece written specifically for our students to explore Robin Hood on stage! All original!So, whether it’s your first time at the MET, or you can remember sitting next door watching one of our first productions; please enjoy yourselves and help spread the word!
