Want to do theater with the Rudes this year? The Rude Mechanicals will be auditioning both Cat on A Hot Tin Roof and The Country Wife at the Greenbelt Arts Center on Monday, March 11th and Tuesday, March 12th. Callbacks will be Thursday, March 14th.

Cat on A Hot Tin Roof has been often cited as Tennessee Williams’ masterwork. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, it is a drama about the burning conflict and passion that grips a dysfunctional Southern family as it finally confronts and speaks the truth.

The Country Wife is William Wycherly’s 1675 Restoration sex comedy about a rake who convinces society he is impotent, and thus safe in the company of its wives. Given a reset in 1955 New York City, when America Liked Ike… there had to have been a first Mad Man.
