One Night Only - August 11, 7:30 pm
Pull-Tight Theater

Pull-Tight Readers Theatre evenings are an informal add-on to our regular, main-stage productions that require minimal time commitment and no memorization on the part of the actors, but provide a full evening of pure entertainment.

In 1933, on the Twentieth Century Limited train from Chicago to NYC, Broadway ballyhoo meets Hollywood hustle. Bankrupt and with his career on a downslide, egomaniacal Broadway director Oscar Jaffe boards the train and encounters his former discovery and ex-chorus girl Lily Garland, now a temperamental Hollywood star. He pulls out all the stops in persuading her to return to Broadway in his upcoming show.
