Mendacity, mayhem, and mirth collide on the rooftop of a Southern mansion in Running With Scissors’ hilarious spoof of Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof! Our story centers on former child star Brick Pollop, whose quasi-popular children’s show has been cancelled after 20 years on the air due to the untimely death of his co-star, Skipper. As a result, Brick retreats to his personal fortress of solitude: a cardboard fort he’s built atop his ancestral home. Now, the family’s matriarch, Colonel Sandra, is sick and dying, and everyone’s in a tizzy about the estate: Brick’s wife, Maggie; Brick’s half-brother Hap; Hap’s chronically pregnant wife, Queenie; and the Colonel’s loud but lovable lesbian lover, Aunt Sukey. When will Colonel Sandra kick the 10-piece bucket? Will Brick snap out of it in time to claim his birthright? And just how many children does Queenie intend to have, anyway? All bets are off in this catfight to the finish!

Pussy on the House was written by Ryan Landry and represents an exciting collaboration between Running With Scissors and Landry’s Gold Dust Orphans, a theatre company based in Boston and Provincetown, Massachusetts. The play stars longtime Running With Scissors players Flynn De Marco (Brick), Jim Jeske (Hap), Elizabeth Pearce (Sukey), Brian Peterson (Maggie), Dorian Rush (Queenie), and–making his debut with the company–Rusty Tennant as Colonel Sandra.

Pussy on the House runs from March 19 through April 10 at Club 735, located at 735 Bourbon Street, in the heart of the French Quarter. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm, with one special Tennessee Williams Festival matinee at 5:00pm on Sunday, March 28. Tickets are $15 and may be reserved at 504 606 9903 or purchased at the door. NOTE: the opening night performance on Friday, March 19 will be hosted by the Mystic Krewe of Satyricon.
