Tom Nemec is bringing something deeply personal—and deeply powerful—to the stage with A Cat in a Box, a one-man show that doesn’t hold back. An actor and comedian with a natural stage presence, Nemec dives into his own childhood growing up in a dysfunctional, alcoholic household, using storytelling that is both brutally honest and darkly funny. A Cat in a Box traces his journey from a turbulent upbringing in the 1970s through the emotional scars that followed, revealing how trauma shapes identity and relationships.

But what makes this piece hit is the balance—it’s not just heavy, it’s human. Through evocative monologues and moments of humor, Nemec brings audiences into the chaos, the silence, and ultimately the healing. The show explores love, loss, and survival while reminding us that even the darkest past can lead to growth and purpose. In true Roundtable fashion, this is the kind of conversation that matters—real, reflective, and rooted in truth. It’s not just a performance, it’s a release… and one that leaves audiences feeling seen, connected, and maybe a little more hopeful.
