CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
Written by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Amanda Brinke
Produced by Greg Zabielski

It is the story of a Southern family in crisis, focusing on the  
turbulent relationship of a wife and husband, Maggie "The Cat" and  
Brick Pollitt, and their interaction with Brick's family over the  
course of one evening gathering at the family estate in Mississippi,  
ostensibly to celebrate the birthday of patriarch and tycoon "Big  
Daddy" Pollitt. 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.

Alpha Psi Omega is the National Honorary Dramatic Fraternity, an  
honor society for those who have demonstrated a high standard of work  
in dramatics.  There are over 550 chapters (“casts”) at colleges  
around the country.  The Delta Xi cast was formed at RPI in 1935 and  
remains active with the RPI Players.
