Margo Jones was a world-famed genius of drama who won Broadway acclaim for directing “The Glass Menagerie,” led the move to decentralize American theatre, established in Dallas a theatre-in-the-round—the first professional, resident, repertory theatre of its kind—and wrote a book on its technique. She premiered 58 new plays, discovered Tennessee Williams, William Inge, and others, and as a dedicated “artistic humanist” provided channels through which the spiritual qualities of creative people could be communicated.
