        "It purrs with old-time glitz" - Daily Bruin

        A Jazz Era drama by Steven Peros
        Directed By Laurie Mills

        Season: July 13th to August 3rd, 8pm
        Matinee: Sun July 14th, 2pm (please note new matinee time)
        Running time: 2 hours (includes 15-minute interval)

        Set in 1924, The Cat's Meow offers a fascinating cross-section of famous Jazz Era characters, including film legend Charlie Chaplin and movie star Marion Davies, who gather for a weekend on William Randolph Hearst's yacht. This darkly comic morality play, laced with clandestine romance and steadily heating tensions is based on the true story. The LA Times described this murder mystery as "a stylish and sardonically funny expose of corrupt Tinseltown values".
