Photo Flash: The Grove Theatre Presents CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
The Grove Theatre is proud to announce the opening of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof on Friday, March 5th. It takes place on a hot sticky summer in the Mississippi Delta. The wealthy Pollitt family has gathered to celebrate patriarch Big Daddy's 65th birthday.
But below the surface, turbulent emotions are brewing. What Big Daddy and Big Mama don't yet know is that this will be Big Daddy's last birthday - he is dying of cancer. Their eldest son, Gooper and his wife, Mae, are scheming to get younger son, Brick, cut out of the inheritance. Brick, an ex-footballer, has taken to drink since the death of his best friend, Skipper. Brick is estranged from his beautiful wife, Maggie, who is fighting tooth and nail to win back his love, and wants to become or at least announce that she is pregnant by Brick, hoping to make Big Daddy happy before he dies.A layer of mendacity - of lies - has built up over the family's disappointments and insecurities. Who is going to be bold enough to start telling the truth now? Is there enough love left to save?
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is an "interplay of live human beings in the thundercloud of a common crisis" (T. Williams).Performances begin Friday, Match 5th, and end Saturday, March 21st. Tickets are $25 and $20 with senior and group discounts available. In this economy, we want everyone to be able to see this fun classic show. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Box Office at (909) 920-4343, or by visiting The Grove's website at http://www.grovetheatre.com.
