Written by Garson Kanin, the play is about how uncouth corrupt tycoon Harry Brock, after arriving in Washington D.C. to bribe a congressman, decides his showgirl mistress Billie Dawn is a liability. Brock hires a journalist to educate her, but in the process, Billie realizes how corrupt her boyfriend is and begins to interfere with his plans. The critically acclaimed comedy ran on Broadway from 1946-49, and was made into a movie in 1950 and again in 1993. Beth Curtis is directing. If you would like to volunteer to help out "behind the scenes," please contact Sue Martin at 985-2225, or email her at smartin455@yahoo.com. The show will be performed at the Shelburne Town Center stage on April 16, 17, 18, 22, 23 and 24.
