Born Yesterday
by Garson Kanin
Directed by Bob Cohen
This delightful comedy classic sets one of theater's most memorable characters–sexy, unsophisticated Billie Dawn–against the corrupt political backdrop of 1945 Washington D.C., as junkyard gangster Brock arrives in D.C. to grease the senatorial wheels in favor of his post-war scrap metal business. Afraid that his uncultured girlfriend, Billie, will wreck his plans, he hires writer Paul Verrall to tutor her, but as Billie's knowledge grows, so does her insight and self-respect.
