Born Yesterday at The Purple Rose Theatre Company

Born Yesterday by Garson KaninWhen Harry Brock blows into the nation's capital, he expects the politicians of Washington D.C. to bow to his beck, bellows and commands.  Harry's bluster helped him reach the top of his corporate junkyard empire, but he'll need the help of a few crooked pals to increase his mountain of wealth.

Although his drunken lawyer and bumbling cousin are quick to conspire with the scheme, Harry's feisty, beautiful bombshell, Miss Billie Dawn, is Born Yesterday by Garson Kaninnot too keen to the shenanigans.  Their on-going battle of the sexes, of brawn and bravado versus beauty and brains, will delight audiences in this classic comedy.

PRTC Resident Artist Suzi Regan directed Guy Sanville, PRTC Artistic Director, and Michelle Mountain as Harry Brock and Billie Dawn, the same roles which were made famous on film by Broderick Crawford and Judy Holiday.  The PRTC production also featured Ryan Carlson, Rhonda English, David Daoust, Terry Heck, Tobin Hissong, Tom Mahard and Phil Powers.
