"Born Yesterday"opens at the end of the month at Ford's Theatre in DC

Synopsis of the play:

"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."

Spouse is working on the set. The director and designer have envisioned Harry Brock's living room gilded top to bottom, and oval shaped.

The resistance is alive and well in the DC arts community.
