‘It's my first show as well as their first show, so we're growing up together,’

Olivia Washington who grew up in Los Angeles had never seen 'The Glass Menagerie' however she had studied it in college.

Auditioning for more than a year, she had stated that the chance to portray one of Williams' most interesting heroines was exciting:

‘Normally, I wouldn't be able to audition because they don't offer it to women of color. So I jumped on it right away,’

Director Christopher Scott was the artistic director of Masterworks and a teacher at Baruch College; he said Washington brought out Laura's fragility and humor at her audition.

He said,

‘I always say at the beginning of our process, Make me see this character in a way that I never imagined, And she did that she did that while staying truthful to the story and what I think Williams wrote. She brought that all alive.’
