Pardon My English has a book by Herbert Fields and Morrie Ryskind, lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and music by George Gershwin. The production opened on Broadway on January 20, 1933 at the Majestic Theatre and ran for 43 performances.

In order to promote the sale of beer and wine, the German government has outlawed all soft drinks. As a result, the soft drink speakeasy Klub 21 is born and is run by Golo Schmidt (Tyler Milliron). The patrons are entertained by Golo's girlfriend and chanteuse Gita Gobel (Amie Bermowitz). Police Commissioner Bauer (Colin Ryan), with the help of Sergeant Schultz (TJ Mannix), tries to shut down Klub 21. To complicate matters, Golo has a split personality that is only revealed when he gets hit on the head - which happens fairly regularly. And when he is the British spy Michael Bramleigh, he falls in love with Bauer's daughter Frieda (Jillian Gottlieb). Fellow British spy Dickie Carter (Blake Joseph) falls in love with Bauer's maid Magda (Stacey Harris). Now you must pay attention - Michael proposes marriage to Freida BUT Golo kidnaps her. Official City Psychiatrist Dr. Steiner (David Gautschy) tries to sort this out as do other Dresden locals Diana Rose Becker, Alexandra McKenna-Mantica, Mark C. Montague, Chelsie Nectow, Katherine Oswald, Ryan Rhue, Michael Jayne Walker; Michael Yeshio

Songs include "Isn't It a Pity?", "My Cousin in Milwaukee", "Where You Go, I Go", "In Three Quarter Time" Thomas Sabella-Mills (Director) James Stenborg (Music Director)
