The Philadelphia Story

Written By Philip Barry

Tracy Lord, of the Philadelphia Lords, is a headstrong and spoiled daughter of the privileged class. Divorced from C.K. Dexter Haven, she plans to wed a successful young snob. At the family estate, Tracy’s wedding weekend grows more eventful as a gossip reporter and a camerawoman arrive cover the wedding arrangements.

This Broadway hit was adapted into a smash 1940 film starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart. The play was later adapted into the musical film High Society, starring Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra.

This production was previously performed on the Barn stage in December of 1950 with notable performances by Peter Tewksbury and Ann B Davis, among other Barn players.
