POCATELLO — An American classic, "The Glass Menagerie,” by Tennessee Williams, will be the Westside Players Dinner Theatre summer show, running Fridays and Saturdays, July 12-August 3 at The Warehouse, 1009 S. 2nd Ave.

    Tennessee William’s “memory play” captures a son’s reminiscences of his domineering Southern mother, and his fragile-as-glass sister. New York Times critic Charles Isherwood wrote, “In this fiercely moving and seriously funny play, Williams brings us realism and sheer poetry.”

    Director Lisa Hammond will hold auditions on Tuesday, May 21, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at The Warehouse, for two men and two women. Tom (age 25-35), the narrator, tries to support the family. Jim, Tom's co-worker (age 25-35), is unaware of the hopes he represents. Laura (age 20 plus), Tom's sister, is as fragile as the glass animals she collects. Amanda, the mother (age 45-60 plus), a fading Southern Belle, longs for a world she once knew.

    Actors are asked to prepare a one-minute memorized dramatic monologue. Cold readings will be provided. People interested

in backstage work and set construction are invited to drop by that evening and introduce themselves.

    Director Lisa Hammond is a Pocatello dialect coach and actress who performs extensively for both Westside Players and Old Town Actors Studio. Most recently, she portrayed three roles in one in Westside's 27th season opener, "The 39 Steps.” She can be reached by calling 208-406-4705.

    Westside Players Community Dinner Theatre, founded in 1986, is nonprofit and powered exclusively by creative volunteers. The mission is to offer affordable, award-winning live theatre and great food to the community.
