In Garson Kanin's 1940's comedy, Kritzer will star as dim-witted showgirl Billie Dawn, who accompanies her crude tycoon boyfriend, Harry Brock (McGrath), to Washington, D.C., "where he hopes to 'buy' a few congressman with her charms. Unfortunately, her social and intellectual ignorance becomes a hindrance to his business prospects, so he hires a journalist to give her a crash course in history, politics and literature. Properly educated and presentable, she recognizes the crook for what he is worth and falls in love with her tutor," according to press notes. The cast will also feature Ross Bickell (Noises Off), Michael Keyloun (The Producers), David Furr (Cymbeline), Suzanna Hay (Dance of Death) and Brad Bellamy.

Pamela Hunt directs the Cape Playhouse production that runs through Aug. 30. Set design is by Richard Chambers.
