Dinner & A Show: the 1945 Dream Girl by Elmer Rice
Ursinus College is again teaming with the Collegeville Economic Development Corp. (CEDC) to feature “Dinner & a Show,” with the 1945 comedy Dream Girl. Fifteen local restaurants are offering specials to individuals who attend.
Directed by Professor Domenick Scudera, the play by Elmer Rice features the character Georgina Allerton, a young woman whose head is filled with dreams – daydreams, that is.
