For 2011, we here at Immediate Theatre Project are revisiting our roots: classic American drama. It has always been our mission to find the emotional center of every play we do, thoughtfully stripping a play of the trappings and pre-conceptions that can get in the way of the playwright’s words. The challenge –and the reward— is often greatest when a play has a hallowed place in the theatrical cannon; when a half century or more of tired, stuffy productions and stilted readings in high school English classes have turned the entire theatre-going population into reflexive critics or ill-informed admirers. Not you, of course. We have the pleasure of bringing you a production about which the critics have said: “Let me be very clear on this next point: you do not want to miss this show.” That was a reviewer from the Mountain Area Information Network describing ITP’s inaugural production, a show we are very happy to be reviving for 2011: Tennessee Williams’ landmark story of a brother and sister who each harbor deep but frustrated dreams of freedom: The Glass Menagerie.
