An Evening With George Ade
Triple Feature!
George Ade is the most featured playwright of the 20th century. Holding to this day, the record of the most simultaneous Broadway productions. Hailing from the little communities of Kentland and Brook, where his estate house can still be seen! https://hazelden.newtoncounty.in.gov/
Too long has his work been confined to the idle chatter of theater majors. Let's return the laugh-out-loud comedy, that drove crowds to Broadway, back to the communities that helped inspire it in the first place!
