Theatre-ISU Opening Gala Fundraiser Concert
In this 1939 American classic by Phillip Barry we meet the Lords of Philadelphia--literally.
Tracy Lord's final preparations for her wedding to mining heir George Kittredge are complicated
by the arrival of reporters from a muckraking scandal sheet and by the re-appearance of her
former husband, C.K. Dexter Haven. The play served as a "comeback vehicle" for Katherine
Hepburn who also starred in the 1940 film, along with Cary Grant. The play is a delightful,
stylized, romantic comedy replete with lots of "eye candy." Our costumes are designed by
Edward Stevenson, the Pocatello boy who became a noted costumer for RKO studios,
designing many costumes for this era. The ISU costume shop will convert Stevenson's
renderings into costumes for this production.
