Tennessee Williams‘ Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” takes the stage at Georgia Ensemble Theatre. The story is set in the 1950s, and it’s about a dysfunctional wealthy Southern family.

The patriarch, “Big Daddy” is unaware that he is dying of cancer. As the family gathers together on his 65th birthday, little does he know they are all fighting over their own piece of inheritance.

Lois Reitzes spoke with the director James Donadio and actor Kate Donadio MacQueen who plays the female lead, Maggie the “Cat.”
