Set in 1920, in working-class North Philadelphia, this comedy tracks a family thrown into chaos by their daughter’s suitor, a pseudo-socialist buffoon. Show Off became a theatrical sensation as one of the first plays to depict the new American middle class.  The show was a “monster hit” playing for 571 performances. The playwright’s teenaged niece, Grace Kelly, made her stage debut in the show’s premiere.

Runtime: 2 hours with a 10-15 minute intermission
