Synopsis:

American theatre pioneer Margo Jones established the first modern professional resident theatre in the U.S. in Dallas in 1947 - the model for more than 450 such theatres in the country today. Margo was a mentor to playwrights William Inge, Horton Foote, Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, as well as Tennessee Williams, whose The Glass Menagerie she co-directed in its first Broadway production.
