Kaufman and Moss Hart's ONCE IN A LIFETIME, running now through June 4, directed by Damon Kiely. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

May (Kathleen McDonnell), Jerry (Mike Dailey) and George (Scott Danielson) are giving up vaudeville and leaving New York to cash in on California's latest gold rush: talking pictures.
