CPCC Theatre is proud to bring Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to the intimate Pease stage this season. The sultry story of Maggie the Cat is one of Williams’ most defining creations and is a delicately wrought exercise in human communication. Big Daddy, Brick and Maggie try to escape from the loneliness of their private lives into some form of understanding. The truth invariably terrifies them. It is the one thing they cannot face or speak. Brooks Atkinson of the NY Times wrote: “As the expression of a brooding point of view about life, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is limpid and effortless. As theatre, it is superb.” Don’t miss this searing drama.

Love Letters by A. R. Gurney

Pease Auditorium

A.   R. Gurney’s Love Letters is a unique and imaginative theatre piece. Love Letters is comprised of letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share confidences. As the actors read the letters aloud, what is created is an evocative, touching, frequently funny but always telling pair of character studies in which what is implied is as revealing and meaningful as what is actually written down. To make things even more compelling three different couples will present the play on successive performances. Come back and see how each set of actors brings to life this touching romance that defied the ages.
