Play Club reads CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
by fctheatre via NEohioPAL 09 May '17

09 May '17

French Creek Theatre's Play Club! Read aloud and discuss a different play each month. ANY AND ALL WELCOME!!! Tuesday, May 16 6:30PM-9:00PM Scripts and light refreshments provided. This month: Cat On a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams In a plantation house, a family celebrates the sixty-fifth birthday of Big Daddy, as they sentimentally dub him. The mood is somber, despite the festivities, because a number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past and desperate, clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as the knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds. 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 plans and prefers to stay in a mild alcoholic haze the entire length of his visit. Maggie has her own interests at heart in wanting to become pregnant, of course, but she also wants to make amends to Brick for an error in judgment that nearly cost her her marriage. 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 will set things right, and Brick's love for his father, never before expressed, will retrieve him from his path of destruction and return him, helplessly, to Maggie's loving arms. For more information call (440) 949-5200 Ext. 226 French Creek Theatre<http://metroparks.cc/theatre.php> is located within the French Creek Nature & Arts Center / 4530 Colorado Ave / Sheffield Village / 44054
