Ken Ludwig's Twentieth Century - a Readers Theatre at Pull-Tight Players

Performance

Tuesday, Aug. 11; 7:30 p.m

Bankrupt, with his career on a downslide, egomaniacal Broadway director Oscar Jaffe boards the Twentieth Century Limited, where he encounters his former discovery, Lily Garland, an ex-chorus girl who is now a tempermental Hollywood star. As the elegant train makes its way from Chicago to New York, Oscar pulls out all the stops to convince Lily to return to Broadway in his upcoming show.
