“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”

By Tennessee Williams

The 6th Street Playhouse proudly presents “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” with a cast led by its 2012 Distinguished Guest Artist – actor of stage, film and television,  Charles Siebert as Big Daddy.

Sexual desire and repression, death and greed cast a somber mood on the occasion of Big Daddy’s 65th birthday celebration and threaten to destroy a wealthy, but dysfunctional Southern family in Tennessee Williams’ 1955 Pulitzer Prize winning drama.

Revelations about alcoholic son Brick and his sexually frustrated wife, Maggie are at the heart of this story. Family dynamics are further strained when Big Daddy’s terminal illness is revealed and brother Gooper and his wife Mae contrive to gain control of the family inheritance.

This 6th Street Playhouse production features the 1974 revision by playwright Tennessee Williams and features Charles Siebert* (who played brother Gooper in the 1974 Broadway production) as Big Daddy; Jenifer Coté as Maggie; Clint Campbell as Brick; Kate Brickley* as Big Mama; Tice Allison as Gooper; Beth Deitchman as Mae; Joe Winkler as Doctor Baugh; and Samson Hood as Reverend Tooker.
