In this episode, Jose speaks to Matt de Rogatis, the star/producer of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. De Rogatis talks about fundraising for the first Off-Broadway production of Cat, why he wanted to play Tennessee William’s “trinity” (Stanley from A Streetcar Named Desire, Tom from The Glass Menagerie, and Brick from Cat), and how he uses his passion for psychology to dig deep into the characters he plays.
