Covedale’s CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF Earns LCT Recommendation

Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized Covedale Center for the Performing Arts’ CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF as a recommended production.

In this Tennessee William’s classic, a plantation house family celebrates the sixty-fifth birthday of its patriarch, Big Daddy. But the mood is tense, despite the festivities, as long-simmering evils poison the party. Greed, sins of the past and desperate clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as the knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds.

One panelist praised the production as “dynamic and layered.” Another commented that “I could feel that I was witnessing the family dynamics of a real family.”

CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF continues through September 30th. Tickets can be purchased at www.cincinnatilandmarkproductions.com/ccpa.

Final LCT awards will be determined at the end of the season and announced at the LCT gala in the spring.

The League of Cincinnati Theatres was founded in 1999 to strengthen, nurture and promote Cincinnati’s theatre community. LCT provides its member companies and individual members with education, resources and services to enhance the quality and exposure of the theatre community in Cincinnati and increase community awareness, attendance and involvement. More information about the League can be found at www.leagueofcincytheatres.com.
