Williams’ ‘Cat’ opens Covedale season

put on theatrically,” Perrino explained. “Certainly classic dramas and musicals – this is a very populist theater. It’s part of our mission. They’re not the newest titles, but they’re great titles. This is one of the greater plays by Tennessee Williams.” Covedale Center audiences are “going to see the kind of theater that used to draw thousands of people all the time, with story, acting – it’s a great dramatic event,” Procaccino added. Perrino was on the lighting crew for the play when he was in college. “I saw it every night for rehearsals and studied it in class,” he said. “I really got to understand and enjoy the depth of the show. Tennessee Williams was an interesting playwright. I found it a worthwhile theater experience with American overtones and personal depth.” The Covedale Center’s 2011-12 season finished strong, bringing “a great amount of momentum” into the new season, according to Rodger Pille, manager of communications and development for Cincinnati Landmark Productions. From about 800 subscribers its first year, a goal of 3,600 is well within reach, he said. That total would put Covedale Center subscriptions among area theaters behind only Playhouse in the Park. “It shows the progress and the forward momentum,” he added. The Covedale Center is winning over season subscribers and now drawing accomplished performers
and technical crew from beyond the West Side. “Cincinnati has a professionally trained actor base,” Perrino said. “There are lots of people with the education and the experience; they have the resume. We just love being their outlet.” Actors are in the midst of four weeks of rehearsals and have spent time practicing with Procaccino’s colleague, dialect coach Mike King, to give their performance “a flavor of the south,” he said – and as Perrino described it, to give the cast “a unified sound.” “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”

“Cat.” “This is the real play Tennessee Williams wrote in 1955,” he explained, not exactly the 1958 film version starring Burl Ives, Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor. “It’s a little grittier. The people aren’t as nice. They’re a little more desperate. “And when the secrets are revealed, that’s when the drama is unleashed,” Procaccino said. Tim Perrino, executive artistic director for Cincinnati Landmark Productions, which operates the Covedale Center, is pleased to launch the season with the timeless work. The selection of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” is characteristic of the Covedale Center’s offerings. “Every theater should have its niche of what you
Just as summer winds down, “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” starts sizzling at the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts Sept. 6 through 30. The classic Tennessee Williams drama – the first of the Covedale Center’s 11th season – is set in the steamy Mississippi Delta and introduces audiences to cotton tycoon Big Daddy Pollitt and his dysfunctional family. “This whole thing is about keeping secrets that leads to lies,” explained director Greg Procaccino, who has been working Cincinnati’s theater scene onand off-stage for years. The production focuses on relationships among members of Big Daddy’s family – especially between son Brick and Brick’s wife, Maggie, the
