Tennessee Williams, as a young playwright at the beginning of his career, and Laurette Taylor, a famous actress facing the end of hers.  They meet backstage before the premiere of The Glass Menagerie, an unopened bottle of Scotch is discovered in her dressing room igniting sparks as they are both challenged to face down a common demon. Can they come together to create a night that will live in infamy, or will their fragile confidence shatter like the fine crystal glasses in their hands.

Laurette Taylor is played by Merry Jo Cortada who’s TV and film work includes Abuela in the Disney Channel’s ‘Stuck in the Middle’, Nita Colon in  ‘Lila and Eve’ with Viola Davis and Jennifer Lopez, and  Maria opposite Bruce Boxleitner in Peter Ettinger’s ‘Bank Heist’.  This summer found her in NYC performing in  ’90 Miles of Separation’ at SummerFest and in Fort Lauderdale performing in Michael Aman’s 2 short plays ‘Looking for Dick / Finding Jane’.
