Join us for one of Shaw's wittiest and least known plays, written towards the end of his VERY long life. The plot: after WWII, a rich young man (Bryan Batt) decides
to venture forth into the world and become a professional 'world betterer.' Along the way he meets the saxophone playing Buoyant heiress, (Veanne Cox) who treats him so curiously that he becomes utterly fascinated by her... and her eccentric family. Don't miss this one: it's a rich opportunity!

This year Walnut Street Theater celebrates its 200th birthday, and on February 3rd they will hold a big birthday bash.
Boasting over 56,000 subscribers, The Walnut is not only the most popular theater company in Philadelphia, but also the most subscribed theatre company in the world.
This season includes three magnificent and beloved musicals: get ready for DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS, OLIVER! and FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. The Walnut also offers two spellbinding plays: A world premiere production of Eric Conger's THE ECLECTIC SOCIETY and Noel Coward's classic comedy, FALLEN ANGELS.
The New Year brings new theatre to the Walnut stage with the world premiere production of Eric Conger's THE ECLECTIC SOCIETY (January 19 - March 7). It's the 1960's, and in order to become the big man on campus, you've got to play the game. In this fraternal society, new recruits need testing and traditions need to be upheld. This new American play celebrates the spirit of youth and the mischief that follows.
