STAGE TUBE: Behind the Scenes of Guthrie Theatre's BORN YESTERDAY

John Miller-Stephany talks with Guthrie Artistic Director about Garson Kanin's classic comedy "Born Yesterday." Garson Kanin had a golden career spanning more than 60 years with credits including Tracy and Hepburn classics "Adam's Rib" and "Pat and Mike." Harry Brock, a junk-dealer millionaire on the rise, heads to Washington with his chorus girl girlfriend Billie Dawn in tow, hoping to influence a senator in some personal business dealings. But he soon gets advice suggesting that his seemingly dim-witted blonde will need a little polish to get ahead in D.C. society. Brock hires a newspaperman for the task but gets more than he bargained for when, in a deliriously funny turn of events, he discovers a little bit of learning can be a dangerous thing! Check out the video!

Escape the holiday madness and plan a date night to see BORN YESTERDAY, a deliciously witty, screwball comedy about a corrupt businessman trying to get ahead. Harry Brock, a junk-dealer millionaire on the rise, hunkers down in a lavishly decorated hotel room in Washington with his brassy chorus girl girlfriend Billie Dawn in tow. Hoping to influence a senator in some personal business dealings, he soon gets advice suggesting that the seemingly dim-witted blonde will need a little polish to get ahead in D.C. society. Brock hires a newspaperman for the task but gets more than he bargained for when, in a deliriously funny and romantic turn of events, he discovers a little bit of learning can be a dangerous thing.
