No matinee on the first Sunday **

Buzz at the Barn, Sat, Mar 24, 2012

Larger-than-Life Broadway impresario Oscar Jaffe must woo former protégé Lily Garland, now a Hollywood starlet, to rescue his failing theatre career.

Along with his eccentric entourage, Oscar devises a scheme aboard the famous Twentieth Century LTD route between Chicago and NYC.

Will he win her back? Based on an actual legendary producer, this rapid-fire screwball comedy dazzles with dialogue and its romantic plot twists.

All Aboard!
