Philip Barry’s The Philadelphia Story premiered on Broadway in 1939, starring Katharine Hepburn. Following its successful run, the play was made into the 1940 Oscar-nominated film, again starring Hepburn with Cary Grant and James Stewart. It was also adapted into the movie musical High Society starring Grace Kelly. The latter film was adapted as a 1998 Broadway musical of the same title, which earned a Tony nomination for a 12-year-old Anna Kendrick.

The Philadelphia Story was last seen on the Main Stem in 1981 starring Blythe Danner, Frank Converse, and Edward Herrmann. A re-imagined version of the comedy was presented during the Circle in the Square Theatre’s The Circle Series last year.
