Cat On A Hot Tin Roof Group Presentation

We were thinking of how to present our project without going into details about each character. The obvious was presented in the text and we tried to demonstrate the hidden emotions and predicaments between characters. Stephanie came up with the idea of Jerry Springer and we took it from there. We brainstormed a few catchy phrases as well as a few dilemmas that would lead to the audience's engagement in our topic.

I was the host and I began by asking Brick about his alcoholism and the death of his friend, Skipper. Than I invited Maggie to further clarify Brick's emotional state and her role as his wife. As Big Daddy, Big Mama, and Mae walked in there were a ramble of truths being thrown out for the crowd to take in.

The feedback we got from the classroom was great. They were responsive to our dialogue. I also believe we all fed off of each-other's enthusiasm in acting. Everyone brought out the best of their character. Overall the presentation and group effort prior to our presentation was smooth and insightful. I definitely think we would be a great cast for a theatre production! I enjoyed working with you all!
