Los Altos Stage Company to Present CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, 1/23-2/16
The Los Altos Stage Company proudly presents a steamy, southern tale of greed, mendacity, sexual desire, repression, death and decay. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams opens January 23 and runs through February 16 at the Bus Barn Theater in Los Altos.
Widely acknowledged as the playwright's personal favorite, this Pulitzer Prize-winning drama set in the Mississippi Delta tells the story of Brick Pollitt, an aging and alcoholic former football hero, his vivacious wife Maggie, and their struggle to navigate their rocky relationship. On a hot summer evening, while the entire Pollitt clan gathers to celebrate the 65th birthday of Brick's father, Big Daddy, the fragile veneer of Southern Gentility strips away as unpleasant truths come to bear.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is directed by Dawn Monique Williams, the 2013 Phil Killian Directing Fellow at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The Los Altos Stage Company's production features a non-traditional, multi-ethnic cast of Bus Barn Theater veterans, as well as a few new faces, including:
Patricia Pitpitan................Margaret
Robert Campbell..............Brick
John Baldwin...................Big Daddy
Sheila Ellam.....................Big Mama
FrEd Pitts........................Gooper
Hannah Larson................Mae
Jim Johnson....................Reverend Tooker
Scott Stanley..................Doctor Baugh
Belgica Paola Rodriguez....Sookey
Performances are Wednesday through Saturday evenings at 8 pm and Sunday matinees at 3 pm.
Ticket prices range from $18 (student) to $32. Opening Night tickets, including a reception with the artists, are $34. Tickets are available on-line at www.losaltosstage.org or by calling the Box Office at (650) 941-0551.
