"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" Stage Play In Need Of Actors
Auditions for Tennessee Williams’ "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". In need of cast. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, the dysfunctional but wealthy Pollitt family gathers to celebrate aging patriarch Big Daddy’s birthday. But there is more to this gathering than a family reunion. Lurking under every practiced interaction between the Pollitt’s is an ulterior motive, under every smile, a challenge, and under every statement, the specter of mendacity. For the Pollitt’s, the truth is as hazy as the late summer sun in Mississippi, and sometimes the only way to find it is to journey through the lies. Additional info: Auditioners ages 18 and up will be asked to read from sides provided at the audition. Please provide a headshot and resume if available. Photos will be taken at the audition for those performers without headshots. All auditioners must be available for all rehearsals during the entire tech week (August 13 through August 17) and for all performance dates. No appointments are necessary for auditions. Performance Dates: August 18, 19 and 25, 26 at 7 pm August 20 and 27 at 3pm
