Damonte Ranch High School

Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman

Authors

• Edna Ferber
• George S. Kaufman

This is the kind of seldom-produced classic comedy The American Century Theater was created to produce. This epic collaboration by novelist Edna Ferber (Show Boat) and master wit George S. Kaufman (You Can’t Take It With You) chronicles the hopes, ambitions, romances and misfortunes of sixteen young women in a boarding house for aspiring New York actresses. The star-studded 1937 Hollywood version abandoned most of the Ferber-Kaufman script. TACT, as usual, will give audiences a chance to see the real thing.
