Production History

Directed by Terry Veal, CST’s production placed Williams’ memory play in Stage Center’s intimate arena theatre. In the original production notes, Artistic Director Rhonda Clark explained that the space suited the play’s personal scale and that including occasional classics could engage high school students and teachers. Veal was himself a high school drama teacher. Edmond glass artist Tim Brown of Artistic Glass Studio created glass animals for the production, including breakable unicorns.
