When you live with a story for a long time – and most Americans are introduced to Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie in high school or college – you see it through the lens not only of your own personal experience, but also of the social milieu of the day. I first met this play as a teenager in the early 1970’s. Freudian theory was still widely accepted, and Amanda Wingfield was presented as a selfish, domineering mother who stifled her children and ruined their lives. It was still generally believed that a mother like that was the cause of a son’s homosexuality. At first I saw Amanda as the villain of the piece.

Later, I transferred that title to Tom, who abandons his mother and helpless sister just like his father before him. Now I tend to consider Jim, the gentleman caller, as the villain who raises, then crushes Amanda and Laura’s hopes.

The Glass Menagerie, currently playing at Hubbard Hall, is the mostly highly autobiographical of Williams’ plays, and his first commercial success. It is obvious that Tom is Williams – whose given name was Thomas – and Laura is his elder sister, Rose, who ended up institutionalized for life after a botched lobotomy. Amanda is their mother, Edwina Dakin Williams. The family did live in St. Louis, his father was a traveling salesman more often on the road than at home, and Williams did work in a shoe warehouse. But Williams was the sickly child over whom his mother fawned, and there was another son in the family.

In his director’s notes in the program Roger Danforth identifies this as a production about family – about how we love and quarrel and outgrow our familial bonds over time. And in this time and place I agree with him. The Wingfield family are no more or less dysfunctional than many, and Williams crafts his Memory Play with love as well as the keen eye of an artist.

Christine Decker gives us an Amanda whose every thought and action is focused on survival – her own and her children’s. Her own survival depends not only on Tom’s ability to earn enough money for food and shelter, but also on clinging to her identity as a turn-of-the-20th century southern belle. You like this Amanda, you laugh at her foibles and feel her pain, but you never see her as the villain. There is no attempt to make Amanda glamorous, which makes her Act II appearance in a lacy old cotillion dress endearingly pathetic, rather than a heartless stab at outshining her mousy daughter.

There is no danger of that here. Grace Sgambettera is luminously beautiful as Laura. She completely captures the character’s psychological frailty, even as she fails to embody Laura’s physical handicap. Sgambettera walks with no trace of a limp, and shifts agilely around on the floor in Act II in a way that a person with a leg that requires a brace would be unable to do. But that quibble aside, she certainly presents a young woman whose weaknesses and wounds render her unable to cope with the world.

By staging the play in the round, Danforth and scenic designer Andrea Nice have deprived David Snider’s Tom of an escape from the interior of the cramped Wingfield apartment. When Tom goes out, which he must to frequently to preserve his sanity, we never see him as physically outside, only lurking on the periphery. Williams calls for both an interior and an exterior set where we can see Tom as separate from the memory shadows he is narrating, which also inescapably haunt him across the years.

And into this tight family enclave comes the Gentleman Caller, Jim O’Connor (Woodrow Proctor), a co-worker with Tom at the shoe warehouse, and unbeknownst to both men, the object of Laura’s high school crush. Even as the electricity goes out (Tom has used the money intended for the electric bill to buy his freedom in the Merchant Marines) the Gentleman Caller brings light and hope into the Wingfield home. For him Amanda spruces up the house, herself, and Laura. He revives in Amanda all the flirtatious fun of her carefree girlhood surrounded by suitors promising hope for a prosperous and in the upper echelons of society. He taps in to a similar time in Laura’s life, when she was younger and felt the first stirrings of love for the Big Man on Campus. After spectacular success socially, academically, artistically, and athletically in high school, Jim has found his own young adult life a disappointment, and is pleased to retreat with Laura to memories of the days when he was the Pirate King and the star athlete.

Proctor balances Jim’s genuine charm and social ease with his slow reversion to the cock-sure self-importance and sense of entitlement of his teenaged self. Does he lead Laura on because he genuinely cares for her, or because he enjoys her adulation of him? Is he really spoken for, or does he devise that ruse to extricate himself quickly and easily, in spite of the pain he knows he is causing?

Sherry Recinella, who frequently costumes Hubbard Hall productions, has assembled simple depression era drab ensembles, except for Laura’s lovely Act II dress, which Amanda has probably hocked something precious to obtain; and Amanda’s own frothy cotillion creation, complete with a sparkly tiara-like headband.

Directors at Hubbard Hall have long made use of the Hall itself as part of the set. There is something about the 1878 wooden opera house that brings a special glow from a time gone by. Despite the previously mentioned drawback to Danforth’s decision to stage the show in the round – three-quarters round might have been a better choice – he, Nice, lighting designer Melissa Mizell, and technical director Benjie White make full use of the Hall’s ambience. When the disco ball whirls the sparkles of light from the Paradise Dance Hall across the historic painted ceiling, when the candles glow between Laura and her Gentleman Caller, making the little glass animals shimmer, when the period music swells and Jim sweeps Laura off her feet. These are magical stage pictures that can only be created at Hubbard Hall.

Colorado ethics panel orders John Hickenlooper to pay $2,750 for two violations

more news https://northdenvernews.com

Colorado’s Independent Ethics Commission on Friday ordered former Gov. John Hickenlooper to pay the state $2,750 for two illegal gifts he accepted while governor.

The panel voted 4-0 to impose a $2,200 fine for a trip to Connecticut on a private jet owned by a top political donor. It then voted 4-1 to impose a separate fine of $550 for a Maserati limousine ride he took in Italy. Commission chairwoman Elizabeth Espinosa Krupa abstained on the first penalty and then cast the lone no vote on the second.

In a two-hour video-conference hearing, the commission also unanimously voted to affirm a contempt finding issued last week when the former governor initially refused to attend its video hearing. But panel members decided not to impose any penalties or seek attorneys’ fees relating to contempt. 

Hickenlooper’s attorney Mark Grueskin had asked the panel to dismiss the contempt issue because Hickenlooper testified the day after he had originally been asked to appear. 

“Some of the arguments that were made and the request to stop the hearing I thought were especially offensive,” commission member Bill Leone said. 

The ethics commission last week determined Hickenlooper violated the state’s constitutional gift ban by accepting flights on private jets and attending an exclusive conference in Italy.

“Governor Hickenlooper accepts the Commission’s findings and takes responsibility,” Melissa Miller, a Hickenlooper campaign spokeswoman, said in a statement Friday.

Hickenlooper, who is seeking the Democratic nomination to take on Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner in November, also was found in contempt last week when he defied a subpoena to testify at a hearing. He eventually testified the next day.

MORE: John Hickenlooper violated Colorado’s gift ban, state ethics commission rules

The ethics complaint against Hickenlooper was filed in October 2018 by the conservative Public Trust Institute.

The first violation came when Hickenlooper took a March 2018 trip to Connecticut for the commissioning of the Navy’s USS Colorado submarine, the ethics panel concluded. Hickenlooper rode on a private plane owned by MDC Holdings, a Colorado-based homebuilder, led by Larry Mizel, a supporter who is also a top fundraiser for President Donald Trump. The then-governor also attended private dinners for the MDC delegation.

Hickenlooper said he considered Mizel a friend and suggested the flight benefited the state because it allowed him to shorten his travel time. He said he did not discuss state business with Mizel and the trip was not related to his actions as governor.

The second instance involved Hickenlooper’s June 2018 travel to the exclusive Bilderberg meetings in Turin, Italy, that featured top CEOs and heads of state. Hickenlooper spoke on a panel at the meeting about economic development and paid for his flight and hotel. He also rode in a limousine at the conference.

Hickenlooper testified that he assumed the $1,500 he paid for four nights at the hotel covered the entire cost of the conference and he said he didn’t know he needed to reimburse for transportation, meals and other benefits. 

BACKGROUND: What you need to know about the ethics complaint against John Hickenlooper, explained in 6 questions

The amount of the fines ordered by the commission was based on a partial estimate of the costs of the two trips. 

Three other private flights aboard company planes owned by friends did not violate the state’s constitutional ban on public officials receiving gifts, the ethics panel concluded. The commission rejected those elements of the complaint after deciding that the travel fit an exemption in the law because it was a gift from a friend or a benefit to the state.

Hickenlooper snubbed the first day of last week’s video-conference hearing, objecting to the video conference format put in place amid the pandemic, and he was held in contempt by the commission. But he testified last Friday after a Denver District Court judge moved to enforce the subpoena at the request of the Colorado Attorney General’s office, which represents the ethics commission.

Hickenlooper filed a lawsuit earlier that week asking a judge to move the hearing to August. 

Voters approved Amendment 41 in 2006. It created the Independent Ethics Commission and a gift ban for public officials in the state constitution. The language prohibits all monetary gifts, as well as any item of value from lobbyists.
