The cast includes Anita ‘Jo’ Lenhart as Amanda Wingfield, Cara Chesney as Laura Wingfield, Tommy Thams as Tom Wingfield, and Logon Polson as Jim O’Connor.
Tickets can be purchased online or by calling the box office. Season subscription packages and VIP Memberships, offering perks such as premium seats, complimentary drinks, and access to exclusive events, are also available.

Farmers Market
On Saturdays throughout the year, from 9 AM to 1 PM, an outdoor market showcases a variety of unique vendors primarily offering locally sourced food items. These include fresh produce, eggs, milk, butter, grass-fed beef, chicken, local honey, pickled vegetables, and gourmet jams. Additionally, prepared foods such as tomato pies, hummus, pasta, tuna dip, and crab cakes are available for purchase. The market also features vendors selling soap and lotions. This event, known as the Grand Boulevard Farmers’ Market, is held in Grand Park, situated between Cantina Laredo and Tommy Bahama.
These lively gatherings are part of the Coastal Culture Calendar of Events, supported by the Grand Boulevard Arts and Entertainment Program.
