Boxcar Extends CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF Through 9/5

By:

With three successful concurrent openings under their belt and performing to old out audiences, Boxcar Theatre has announced they will extend another week adding seven additional performances to their Tennessee Williams in Repertory run. Described as, "swift, lean and thoughtful" by Rob Avila from the Bay Guardian with "enjoyable performances all around," Cat on a Hot Tin Roof will perform Sunday, August 29 (7pm), Saturday, September 4 (8pm), and Sunday, September 5 (2pm). Linda Ayres-Frederick from the Bay Times hailed that A Streetcar Name Desire has "enough delicious moments that capture the intricacies of the human spirit." Streetcar will add two more performances Sunday, August 29 (2pm) and Sunday, September 5 (7pm). Opening last week, The Glass Menagerie will also add two more performances: Thursday, September 2 (8pm) and Friday, September 3 (8p).

Albert Goodwyn of the SF Examiner said of Glass, "The marvelously complex staging of this show holds interest intensely." He added, "Boxcar Theatre has mounted an innovative, very successful new interpretation of Tennessee Williams' play The Glass Menagerie in their black box theater South of Market."

Tickets for the extension are $30 and may be purchased online at www.boxcartheatre.org or by calling the box office at 415.776.1747

In addition to the three productions currently in Rep, next Monday August 23, 2010 at 8pm, Boxcar will present part two of its two part reading series of other Tennessee Williams work. Admission is free. Presented will be Green Eyes & Chalky White Substance, directed by Cindy Dinh; I Rise in Flames Cried the Phoenix & Adam & Eve on the Ferry, directed by Neil Higgins; Talk to Me Like the Rain and Let Me Listen, directed by Katja Rivera.
