A haunting American classic opens the 2026 mainstage season
Scranton, PA — Scranton Fringe proudly presents The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, opening April 9–11, 2026, at The Sanctuary Theater. Presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., this iconic American drama launches Scranton Fringe’s 2026 mainstage season.
The Glass Menagerie remains one of the most enduring works of American theater. Told through the lens of memory, the play follows the Wingfield family as they navigate longing, obligation, and fragile dreams. At its heart is a deeply human question: how do we hold onto hope when reality threatens to break it?
This intimate production invites audiences into a world where memory is both beautiful and delicate—“how beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken.”
Directed by Scranton Fringe Executive Director Conor Kelly O’Brien, the production emphasizes emotional immediacy, innovative/intime staging, and the magic of theater itself that has made Williams’ work timeless.
