Ivoryton Playhouse to Present I OUGHT TO BE IN PICTURES, 4/23-5/11

What's a daughter to do when she wants to get in touch with her father who she hasn't seen in 16 years and who lives 3,000 miles away? Well, if you're Libby Tucker you hitch hike and bus your way across the country with nothing but a backpack full of dreams and spare socks. Libby travels from Brooklyn to Los Angeles ostensibly to break into movies but mostly because she needs to find out why her dad and left and does he still love her.

I Ought To Be in Pictures opened in New York in April 1980, and in 1982 was turned into a movie starring Walter Matthau and Ann-Margret. This is Neil Simon at his best - poignant and funny. For dads and daughters everywhere, this will be a memory to treasure.
