Auditions for Spring 2012 Play, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"

The Monson Arts Council will be holding walk-in auditions at the House of Art, on February 5th at 2pm and February 6th at 7pm, with callbacks February 7th at 7pm. Performance dates are April 27th, 28th and 29th. We'll be looking primarily for adults ages 20-65, with a few cameo parts for children. The roles range from very large indepth character studies (Maggie, Big Daddy, Brick) to smaller walk on roles, and everything in between! Those interested in auditioning should come prepared to do readings from the script.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a play by Tennessee Williams. One of Williams's best-known works and his personal favorite, the play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1955. Set in "the bed-sitting room of a plantation home in the Mississippi Delta" of Big Daddy Pollitt, a wealthy cotton tycoon, the play examines the relationships among members of Big Daddy's family, primarily between his son Brick and Brick's wife Maggie the "Cat".

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof features several recurring motifs, such as social mores, greed, superficiality, mendacity, decay, sexual desire, repression, and death. Dialogue throughout is often rendered phonetically to represent accents of the American South.

Anyone interested in volunteering for a backstage crew, including set construction, props, costumes, etc. is encouraged to attend auditions to meet with the artistic designer or producers. They may also contact Ray and Denise Surprenant at 413-267-3078.
