At the Surf and Sand Playhouse in Cape Cod, the young and poor apprentices are performing in summer stock theatre. Led by the handsome Val, they have written a revue in order to raise money for the theatre’s kind co-owner, Bunny, to help pay off the debts she inherited from her father. However, the apprentices’ revue is almost not performed when Fleming, the other owner, decides to put on the terrible play, The Deep North. After stumbling through various romantic relationships, the apprentices unite to turn The Deep North into a shambles. The play closes and they are able to perform their revue which turns out to be a great hit and raises the money for Bunny. This show by the internationally famous Rodgers and Hart was made into the 1939 film starring Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, and was directed by Busby Berkeley. In fact, it is the root of their series of “let’s do the show right here in the barn!” films. Even if you don’t remember the film, you will certainly know and love the songs including “My Funny Valentine” and “The Lady is a Tramp”, as well as “Where or When”, “I Wish I Were in Love Again” and “Johnny One Note”.
