Synopsis

Meet the Cavendishes, the first family of the American stage, as they sword-fight, swoon, and act their way through their daily lives, proving the old axiom, the show, and the family, must go on. Kaufman and Ferber's 1927 vintage comedy is fast-paced, howlingly funny, and full of larger than life eccentrics. Ensemble member Frank Galati directs this rollicking revival.
