K-STATE'S MCCAIN PERFORMANCE SERIES TO PRESENT 'CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF'

MANHATTAN -- It has been called one of the most successful plays ever and now "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" will be performed at Kansas State University's McCain Auditorium.

The performance will be at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, at McCain Auditorium and is part of the McCain Performance Series.

"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is the story of a Southern family in crisis, focusing on the turbulent relationship of spouses Maggie, "The Cat," and Brick Pollitt, and their interaction with Brick's family over the course of an evening at the family estate in Mississippi.

The family is gathered to celebrate the birthday of patriarch and tycoon "Big Daddy" Pollitt. Maggie, through wit and beauty, has escaped a childhood of poverty to marry into the wealthy Pollitt family, but finds herself suffering in an unfulfilling marriage. Brick, an aging football hero, neglects his wife and further infuriates her by ignoring his brother's attempts to gain control of the family fortune.

Tickets cost $12.50 to $25 and can be ordered by calling the McCain box office at 785-532-6428 between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays. Tickets also may be purchased online at http://www.k-state.edu/mccain

The performance is sponsored by the Friends of McCain.
