Cats on a Hot Tin Roof is a heartfelt retelling of Tennessee William's classic with a twist, presented in hand puppet form. Watch as our two protagonist's must reconcile their differences, or risk having their world fall apart around them.

A man in cat face paint and a tiger onesie, screaming at something off-camera. He is lit in warm white.

A hand-painted puppet booth, depicts a small house below the cutout, above, the text “Cats on a Hot Tin Roof” amongst the clouds. Inside the cutout, two hand puppets, on the left, a paper bag with a crudely drawn cat face, on the right, a tiger wearing a tutu. They are lit in cool white.

A man in all black, holding a wooden hammer and a man in a tiger onesie, holding a knife, posed in fighting stances, looking past the audience. In front, the audience, seated on the floor, looking back at something off-camera. Upstage, a hand-painted puppet booth, depicts a small house below the cutout, above, the text “Cats on a Hot Tin Roof” amongst the clouds. They are lit in cool white.

A man in black and a man in a tiger onesie, kneeling on the floor, crying over a destroyed paper hand puppet. They are lit in cool white.

A man in black and a man in a tiger onesie, standing inside a hand-painted puppet booth, depicting a small house below the cutout, above, the text “Cats on a Hot Tin Roof” amongst the clouds. They are lit in cool white.

A wide shot of a small studio. A man in all black, holding a wooden hammer and a man in a tiger onesie, holding a knife, posed in fighting stances, looking at each other. In front, the audience, seated on the floor. Upstage, a hand-painted puppet booth, depicts a small house below the cutout, above, the text “Cats on a Hot Tin Roof” amongst the clouds. They are lit in cool white.
