A stalwart of the American stage, this is one of the most-performed plays at high schools and theaters across the country.

A host of colorful characters come and go, much to the chagrin of younger daughter Alice. She is the “normal” one of the family, and engaged to Tony Kirby, the son of a wealthy businessman. The families clash, but all works out in the end!

Tinkerbell provides pixie dust so they can fly!
