Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at 6th Street Playhouse

It’s Big Daddy’s 65th birthday! However, the mood is somber despite the festivities, as a number of evils poison the gaiety. Maggie, Big Daddy's daughter-in-law, wants to give him the news that she's finally become pregnant by Big Daddy's favorite son, Brick, but Brick won't cooperate in Maggie's plan. Swarming around Maggie and Brick are their intrusive, conniving relatives, all eager to see Maggie put in her place and Brick tumbled from his position of most-beloved son. By evening's end, Maggie's ingenuity, fortitude, and passion could set things right, and Brick's repressed love for his father might just retrieve him from his path of destruction.
