ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Northern Kentucky University
Feb. 18-28
NKU Corbett Theatre [Highland Heights]

Directed by Mike King

The first of many collaborations between the legendary writing duo, Kaufman and Hart’s ONCE IN A LIFETIME is a laugh-out-loud extravaganza. Indulge in this wickedly funny tale of three on-the-skids vaudeville troupers—Jerry, Mae, and George—who decide to take advantage of the latest craze, “talkies,” by heading to Hollywood and posing as voice experts. There they find absurd silent-film starlets, insane movie studio executives, crazy gossip columnists, desperate cigarette girls, dim witted stage mothers, and jaded studio hands. This delectable sendup of the excesses of Hollywood will keep you on the edge of your seat through every hilarious twist and turn.
