Berkshire Theatre Group and Artistic Director/CEO, Kate Maguire presents Tennessee Williams' classic Cat on a Hot Tin Roof featuring Michael Raymond-James as Brick. Michael Raymond-James starred in NBC's recent series, Game of Silence and is best known for his featured roles in True Blood and Once Upon a Time.

Kate Maguire says, "We are thrilled to have Tony and Pulitzer Award-winning David Auburn (Proof) returning to the Fitzpatrick Main Stage, where he has directed A Delicate Balance, Period of Adjustment and Anna Christie."

Director David Auburn adds, "We will be taking a fresh look at this great American classic with an outstanding company of actors, aiming for a production that's as unexpected as it is visceral. I've worked with Rebecca Brooksher, (BTG: Anna Christie, Period of Adjustment; TV: Elementary, Happyish), many times, going back to the Juilliard School. We last collaborated at BTG on Anna Christie."

This cast also features David Adkins as Reverend Tooker (BTG: Benefactors; Poe), Jim Beaver as Big Daddy (TV: Supernatural, Deadwood; Film: The Life of David Gale), Linda Gehringer as Big Mama (BTG: I Saw My Neighbor on the Train and I Didn't Even Smile; Film: As Good as it Gets), Timothy Gulan as Gooper (Broadway: The Last Ship), Jenn Harris as Mae (Off-Broadway: Silence! The Musical), Brian Russell as Doctor Baugh (Broadway: The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial), as well as the previously mentioned Mr. Raymond-James as Brick and Ms. Brooksher as Maggie.
