Maggie, through wit and beauty, has escaped a childhood of desperate poverty to marry into the wealthy Pollitt family, but finds herself suffering in an unfulfilling marriage. Brick, an ageing football hero, has neglected his wife and further infuriates her by ignoring his brother's attempts to gain control of the family fortune. Brick's indifference and his near-continuous drinking, date back to the recent suicide of his friend Skipper. Big Daddy is unaware that he has cancer and will not live to see another birthday; his doctors and his family have conspired to keep this information from him and his wife. His relatives are in attendance and attempt to present themselves in the best possible light, hoping to receive the definitive share of Big Daddy's enormous wealth.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> <O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">Alpha Psi Omega is the National Honorary Dramatic Fraternity, an honor society for those who have demonstrated a high standard of work in dramatics.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are over 550 chapters (“casts”) at colleges around the country.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The Delta Xi cast was formed at RPI in 1935 and remains active with the RPI Players.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> <O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">For more information visit dx,alphapsiomega.org or<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">Phone: 518-276-6503<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">Contact: <A href="mailto:officers@dx.ayw.org">officers@dx.ayw.org</A><O:P></O:P></DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
