The Philadelphia Story by Philip Barry and directed by Debbie Levin, is a classic comedy of manners set in Philadelphia high society during the late 1930’s. One day before her marriage to a successful businessman, haughty socialite Tracy Lord is sure of herself and her future. However, with the surprise arrival of ex-husband C.K. Dexter Haven and the tempting presence of tabloid reporter Mike Connor, Tracy’s perfect vision of herself is shaken to the core. It will take a bottle of champagne and a compromising situation to crack her forbidding exterior and reveal an understanding heart.

The comedy features a large cast of local favorites and new additions to YCP’s stage: Doug Bagnasco, Jim DeBlasi, Tony DeCristofaro, Rachel Dwyer, Jan Dyckman, Joe Efferen, Claire Johanson, Christina Johnson, Joel Karpoff, Eric Luther, Kathleen Silloway and Evelyn Voura as Tracy Lord. Donna Ruppert is stage manger and Karen Symington Muendell and Maureen Howard will co-produce this venture for YCP.
