The Yard Theatre take a peek inside The Glass Menagerie

The Yard Theatre have this week released the full casting for their new staging of The Glass Menagerie…

Directed by Founder and Artistic Director Jay Miller and following a strong public on-sale, this production marks a significant milestone in The Yard’s evolution. As the final show in their current space, it heralds a new chapter—with construction beginning on a purpose-built new venue that is scheduled to open in 2026.

The cast includes Sharon Small who will play Amanda Wingfield, Tom Varey starring as Tom Wingfield, Eva Morgan who portrays Laura Wingfield and Jad Sayegh will feature as Jim O’Connor.

This is Eva and Jad’s professional stage debut. This casting continues The Yard’s longstanding commitment to championing emerging talent and providing vital early-career opportunities — a cornerstone of the theatre’s work since its beginnings.

“How beautiful it is, and how easily it can be broken.”

It is evening. Tom Wingfield is smoking in the alley outside the apartment where he grew up. Through a window, he watches his mother and his sister.

Tonight is one of those nights you remember forever. Tonight, someone special is coming to dinner. Tonight, there will be a dance. Tonight, you might fall in love. Tonight, everything could change.

This production of The Glass Menagerie is made possible through the generous support of our Production Circle members: Mike Anderson, Fiona Clements, Rodney Schwartz, Simon Tate, Carolyn Ward, and those who wish to remain anonymous.
