Jasmine Ruckriegel Marketing Director of University Theatres 812/465-1668 (office) 812/630-2750 (cell) Produced by the University of Southern Indiana, the play runs July 9 through July 25 at New Harmony's Murphy Auditorium. Leibowitz directs the production, which features a cast of professional New York actors, including Joy Franz as Amanda and Loren Dunn as Tom. Franz and Dunn also appeared in New Harmony Theatre's summer production of "The School for Scandal." Marnye Young, known to New Harmony Theatre audiences for her winning role as Lenny in the 2008 production of "Crimes of the Heart," plays Laura. Young is a graduate of the University of Evansville's theatre program and received her master's degree from the Yale School of Drama. Markus Potter rounds out the cast as Jim, Laura's gentleman caller. Leibowitz said, "'The Glass Menagerie' is one of my favorite plays. It remains a flawless act of empathetic imagination, as lovely and fragile as Laura's glass unicorn." The production features scenery, costumes, and lighting by New Harmony Theatre veterans Tijana Bjelajac, Shan Jensen, and Craig A. Young. "The Glass Menagerie" plays at Murphy Auditorium at 419 Tavern Street in New Harmony. Tickets are $22 for adults, $20 for seniors (60 and over), and $10 for anyone 25 or younger.
