The Dramateurs, Inc. at the Barn Playhouse will open their 2024 Season with the hysterical musical comedy “Nice Work If You Can Get It” featuring the music of George and Ira Gershwin on April 26.
Billie Bendix (played by Lauren Kerstetter) a tough-as-nails bootlegger, and wealthy playboy Jimmy Winter (played by Rob Frankel) meet on the weekend of his impending wedding. Jimmy has a habit of marrying chorus girls, but needs to settle down with a respectable woman before his mother will hand over the family business. He has gotten engaged to Eileen Evergreen (played by Erika Dandridge) the self-proclaimed finest interpreter of modern dance, hoping that this will be a better choice than his usual chorus dancer.
Needing somewhere to stash 400 bottles of gin, Billie swipes Jimmy’s wallet and hides her stash in his empty Long Island beach house. However, when the wedding party arrives at the beach house, the bootleggers must juggle the guests and their business. With a Drama Desk award for Outstanding Book of a Musical, Nice Work If You Can Get It is a definite crowd pleaser.
Featuring familiar Gershwin hit songs, a live band, engaging dance numbers and a cast full of energy this show promises to be a good time!
