The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams(2019)
Fulton Theatre, directed by Kevin Earley
“Zack Calhoon is a revelation as Tom. Calhoon has a tough task in this role as he is to be simultaneously detached from the memories around him yet while also being engaged and in the moment. The actor captures Tom’s complexity brilliantly. The cynicism the Calhoon exudes in his early monologues to the audience brings them into the action. The character of Tom is the audiences’ window into the family, and Calhoon is an intriguing and at times even heartbreaking guide. For instance, when the character tells his mother that he is going to the movies, it can be inferred through Calhoon’s closed off expression that he is probably not. Calhoon gives this complex character the pathos that Williams’ words deserve and is excellent throughout.”
