The history of the Ivoryton Playhouse is inextricably linked to the career of Katharine Hepburn, who spent the summer of 1931 proving to local audiences that she was leading lady material before heading off to Hollywood and stardom. It seems a fitting choice to open our 99th birthday season with a nod to Ms Hepburn and the role that brought her accolades on stage and screen in Philip Barry's The Philadelphia Story. Barry wrote The Philadelphia Story in 1939 specifically for Ms. Hepburn, who ended up backing the play, and foregoing a salary in return for a percentage of the play's profits. Co-starring with Hepburn on Broadway were Joseph Cotten, Van Heflin and Shirley Booth . The play opened in late March 1939 and ran for a full year with more than 400 performances and a nationwide tour. The play was a great success on Broadway, and the subsequent movie with Carey Grant and James Stewart was Hepburn's first great triumph after several movie flops had led to movie theater owners including her on a list of actors viewed as 'box office poison.' The movie garnered 6 Academy Award nominations and won two.

The Storm Theatre presents the first show of its 2008/2009 season - William Saroyan's THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE, beginning October 3, 2008 at The Storm Theatre, 145 W. 46th Street, NYC. Tickets are $20 and are available at www.smarttix.com, 212-868-4444.

Set in the uneasy calm between the Depression and WWII, THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE follows the patrons of a San Francisco waterfront bar over the course of a single day in 1939. Uniquely American, Saroyan's twenty-seven characters exude a clear-eyed confidence and resiliency as they face troubles head-on in this funny, dramatic and ultimately touching celebration of existence. THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE won both the 1940 Pulitzer Prize for drama and the 1940 New York Drama Critics Circle Award. Peter Dobbins, artistic director of The Storm Theatre, directs.

The Peccadillo Theater Company's revival of Sylvia Regan's 1940 sentimental drama, Morning Star is warm, humorous and perfectly lovely.
