Wowzer. In Tennessee Williams's Pulitzer Prize winning play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, a powerful but turbulent Southern family gathers at their Mississippi estate, ostensibly to celebrate the birthday of patriarch Big Daddy. Big Daddy has cancer, but his doctors and relatives have conspired to hide the diagnosis from him and his wife. At the gathering, his relatives attempt to ingratiate themselves with Big Daddy, with an eye toward his enormous fortune. Theatre Tulsa presents this production of the play, which explores themes of disgust with the world and decaying Southern society. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof will show in the Liddy Doenges Theatre in the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, 110 E. Second St. Show times are 8pm, March 25-27. For more information, visit tulsapac.com or theatretulsa.org.

Eat to Your Health. There's nothing better than going out to eat and doing it for a reason. A reason other than basic survival, that is. Eating Out for Equality has teamed up with El Guapo's for a fundraiser tonight at the popular restaurant, 332 East First St. Try the Tacos El Guapo with a choice of chicken, steak or pork, or maybe fill your take with the Wet Burrito. Whatever the case might be, just get out and eat your heart out. During the night, 25 percent of the proceeds go toward benefitting Oklahomans for Equality. For more information, visit okeq.org.
