South Camden Theatre Company Opens its 10th Anniversary Season with a Production of BROKEN GLASS by Arthur Miller

1888PressRelease - South Camden Theatre Company, a nonprofit professional theatre company located in Camden, New Jersey announces its 10th season titled "A Season of Faith" with a production of BROKEN GLASS written by Arthur Miller and directed by Craig Hutchings.

Philadelphia, PA-NJ - The cast includes Lee Kiszonas, Michael Hicks, Pat DeFusco, Maria Panvini, Tami Gordon Brody and Dan Hickey.

SCTC's season of "Faith" is being produced as a thank you to the audience that has helped the theatre grow in Camden New Jersey for a decade. The tenth season highlights plays that explore faith in many different ways from traditional faith as well as faith in relationships and each other's humanity. Set in Brooklyn in 1938, Arthur Miller's Tony Award nominated BROKEN GLASS gives the audience a portrait of Jewish couple and their life in America at a time when storm clouds were gathering over Europe. Phillip Gellburg's wife Sylvia suddenly loses her ability to walk and the only clue to her ailment seems to lie in news accounts from Germany.

Producing Artistic Director Joseph M. Paprzycki states, "Over our first nine years I realized that we, as a theatre that honors the playwright, had never produced an Arthur Miller play. I needed to correct that in season ten and I selected BROKEN GLASS as our kick off to this special anniversary season. This play, written later in Miller's career, brings us back to the late 1930's when a marriage was in trouble and the harbingers of the evil to come in Europe was just beyond the horizon. It is a beautifully written piece that has not been produced in this region for some time. I thought it was the perfect play to begin our season of 'Faith' for reasons you will see on stage."

All performances will be held Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. at the 96-seat Waterfront

    “The Glass Menagerie” by the famous American playwright Tennessee Williams is well-known for its lyrical tone and poetic power. The play is about love and understanding, inner isolation and desire to escape, when the main characters have their own paths to follow. Tennessee Williams depicts a true-to-life picture of the family survival with their mutual care and tenderness, but at the same time pressure and home violence. The events are presented by one of the main characters, Tom Wingfield, who lives with his mother and a crippled sister, and because of their father’s financial problems it is Tom who has to take care of others. In fact, he dreams to quit his tiring job at a shoe warehouse and become a poet, but being unable to do it, he starts…

    From having unfulfilled desires to abandoning loved ones, Tennessee Williams encompasses both aspects in his most successful piece of literature that will be examined for generations to come. The struggles of Laura are displayed perfectly by Tom’s memory in respect to her shyness and incapability of forming into society because of a disability yet this play is much more than just finding likely suitors. In The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, the characters Tom and his father are compared with each other in a fight against destiny. Both characters are faced with the struggles of a transitioning South being revolutionized into an industrial movement sweeping the world. Confronted by the same struggles of a typical Southern…
