The Delta Xi cast of Alpha Psi Omega, the  National Theater Honor Fraternity 
at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, will hold  auditions for Tennessee William
’s Cat on  a Hot Tin Roof on Tuesday, June 26 and Wednesday, June 27 at 7:00 
pm in  Mother’s Emporium, lower level of the RPI Union, 15th and Sage Avenue  
in Troy, NY.  Show dates are September 7th, 8th, 14th and 15th  at the RPI 
Playhouse on 15th Street in Troy.  Cat on a Hot Tin Roof will be directed  by 
Amanda Brinke.  No prepared monologue necessary.  Actors will read  directly from 
the script. 
Cat on a Hot Tin  Roof 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 aging 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 nearly 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.
