Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Bucks County Playhouse
Wednesday April 29, 2026
Passions ignite and secrets smolder in Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece. Set on a sweltering Mississippi estate, a wealthy Southern family gathers to celebrate Big Daddy’s birthday. Beneath the surface of their lavish estate lies a tangle of lies, desire, and unspoken truths. At the center is Maggie “the Cat,” determined to save her marriage to Brick, a former football hero numbed by loss and silence, so they can inherit his parent’s vast fortune. This explosive American classic is as sexy, sizzling and unforgettable today as it was when it first shook Broadway in 1955.

Friends of Washington Crossing Park (FWCP) has been awarded a $15,000 grant through America250PA’s Lecture250 Series to support their upcoming presentation, “The Writing of the Declaration and What It Meant in 1776”.

Dr. Emily Sneff’s new book, When the Declaration of Independence Was News, examines how the Declaration was disseminated, interpreted, and remembered in Pennsylvania and across the Atlantic world in 1776. Sneff, a consulting curator for national exhibitions commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, holds a Ph.D. in History from William & Mary and will be on a national book tour in advance of the 2026 anniversary.
