Revelry and sanctioned rule-breaking can help to keep the social structure strong. When Viola becomes unwittingly caught in a love triangle, confusion cascades on the house of the Duke Orsino. When true identities are revealed, love smiles upon all the lovers – except for one. This workshop investigates questions of social mores and social gameplay in our exertion of power over each other. What happens when we are not careful about those not invited to play in the game?

CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF 2019 by Tennessee Williams

AVAILABLE NOW!

Lies can keep families and society afloat, but inevitably the truth will out. At Big Daddy’s birthday celebration, the Pollitt family find themselves forced to face their own inner truths; a challenge at which they mostly fail. This workshop examines issues of family, masculinity, homosexuality, and Williams’ recurring theme of alcoholism. Williams has a magical way of showing the beautiful fragility of how we all have lies we hang on to.
