ABOUT THE SHOW

              Drew Charteris, a self-centered, arrogant theatre critic refuses to let his 17 year-old daughter marry the

successful  young playwright she loves. Clara, a friend of the family schemes with the young girl to outwit the

pompous father with the help of the girl's fiancee in this delightful farce, adapted from a classic Moliere comedy.

The story rides an escalating wave of hilarity with a touch of a 21^st century Marx Brothers lunacy at it's best.  “You

always tickle my funny bone.” -Jerry Stiller.  “Norman Beim is a “rara avis”: a professional playwright.  He is what

the theatre needs.” -Tony Randall.

  All cast and crew receive stipend payments for performances.
