BWW Preview: BORN YESTERDAY, Classic Theatre
Born Yesterday - the Garson Kanin play made into a 1950 movie starring Judy Holliday, William Holden and Broderick Crawford - opens this weekend at the Classic Theatre on Fredericksburg Road.
It features Hayley Burnside in the role of Billie Dawn, Greg Hinojosa as Harry Brock and Nick Lawson as Paul (the William Holden role). Byrd Bonner plays the lawyer Ed.
Pictured here are Hayley Burnside and Nick Lawson.
The story (quoting from Wikipedia): An uncouth, corrupt rich junk dealer, Harry Brock, brings his showgirl mistress Billie Dawn with him to Washington, D.C. When Billie's ignorance becomes a liability to Brock's business dealings, he hires a journalist, Paul Verrall, to educate his girlfriend. In the process of learning, Billie Dawn realizes how corrupt Harry is and begins interfering with his plans to bribe a Congressman into passing legislation that would allow Brock's business to make more money.
Performances April 29 through May 22. Call Florence Bunten for tickets: 210-589-8450 or buy online.
