Written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart
Directed by Lynne Lupfer
It’s time to roar with laughter at this 1937 Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy which features a daffy family whose passions include such mysterious oddities as pyrotechnics, snakes, ballet and dodging government authorities. Their ‘conventional’ daughter brings her boyfriend and his straight-laced parents home to meet her oddball family for the first time, but both she and her beau realize that the endearing eccentricities of her family and friends and their unquestioning love and support is their true happiness. “The only downside to this unconditional upper is that it may strain previously underused muscles around your mouth. That can happen when you spend twoand-a-half hours grinning like an idiot. A lot of shows can make you laugh. What’s rare is a play that makes you beam from curtain to curtain.” NY TIMES
