BORN YESTERDAY at Theatre Box

The shady and criminal minded Harry Brock has come to a swanky hotel in Washington to make crooked deals with government big-wigs. He has brought with him the charming but naive ex-chorus girl Billie, whose lack of social graces embarrasses even Harry. Billie must be taught some of the graces, and a few basic bits of information. The young, idealistic magazine reporter Paul Verrall, who has been investigating political skullduggery and is interested in Brock's activities, agrees for a salary, to educate Billie. But things go awry when her innocence is overwhelmed with who Brock really is and she begins falling for Paul. It's a culture clash of hysterical proportions in this classic screwball comedy. The 1950 film starred William Holden and a star-making turn by Judy Holliday, who won an Oscar for her portrayal.
