“The Philadelphia Story” Comes to The Ivoryton Playhouse!

"The prettiest sight in this fine, pretty world is the privileged class enjoying its privileges."

The Ivoryton Playhouse welcomes you to the start of its 2010 season, and boy are we starting this year off right!  What better way to keep those winter blues at bay than spending some quality time with Tracy Lord, C.K. Dexter Haven, and Macaulay Conner?  The socialite gossip mill is ready to roll as The Philadelphia Story comes to the Ivoryton Playhouse!

Opening March 10^th, this romantic screw-ball comedy that garnered praise for both the stage and screen productions takes a look at the privileged upper class society of Philadelphia, and the antics that the rich and famous can find themselves taking part in.  Haughty divorced socialite Tracy Lord is preparing for her second marriage to a dull, self-made businessman. Enter C.K. Dexter Haven, her dashing first husband, and Macaulay Connor, a cynical tabloid reporter with a distrust of the wealthy. What follows is a rapid-fire war of words as the two men try to help Tracy discover the heart beneath her holier-than-thou exterior.  The dialogue written in 1939 by Philip Barry is still as fresh and snappy today as when it was first written – and the play still manages to turn some of our pre-conceived notions about class on their heads!
