Do you long for a return to a more elegant society with sophisticated conversations? One where people hang up the phone and get dressed for dinner? CVLT wants to transport you back to the more genteel 1930s-40s with its production of Phillip Barry’s classic THE PHILADELPHIA STORY. The show is performed in three acts with two intermissions.

Made famous by the 1940 film adaptation starring Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, and James Stewart, Barry’s romantic comedy is a quick-witted battle of the sexes with undertones of a class struggle between the affluent upper and struggling lower classes.

It unfolds on the wedding of popular and headstrong socialite Tracy Lord as she prepares to marry her fiancee George. Soon the intrusion of the media and her ex-husband ignore clashes of family and class clashes, as well as romance!
