Customer Comments:

By Kelly Youngbauer - Director - Verndale Schools

This play was so fun to direct! The kids had a blast, especially the gangsters! The roles are very balanced - everyone gets a lot of stage time. The play was well received by all ages!

By Gina Homan - Director - high school fall play

This worked really well for us as we need heavy female and smaller male parts. Everyone including the audience enjoyed performing and watching this production. The set was simple and didn't change. The costumes were fun as well. Great play and well written lines.

By Gina Homan - Director - high school fall play

We did this as our high school fall play in the midst of Covid-19. It was easy to block, costumes weren't hard and the set was pretty simple. There are many characters, and it is a fast paced storyline. The cast and crew enjoyed this play. I would definitely do it again!

By Jamie Kohen - director - The University of Regensburg

This is a very enjoyable production for a large group. It is light-hearted and many characters are delightful.

By Dorothea Hackett - Theatre Director - DuBois Area Senior High School

I constantly need a play heavy on female roles. When I find one, I allow theater students to read/preview it. Overwhelmingly, all loved the script for Ain't She Sweet. Once in production, the students loved the characters - especially the gangsters, and were able to stretch their farcical muscles with each. The show sold well, too.

By David Miller - Director of Drama - Lake Forest High School, Lake Forest, IL

Terrific play with a large cast and a lot of good character parts. Great fun...standing room only performances. I can't recommend Ain't She Sweet highly enough.

By Kate Muldoon - Niagra Falls High School, Niagra Falls,

We were pleasantly surprised by the writing…excellent characterization. Our kids did research on the real-life characters (from the name twist of each character). Our kids had a wonderful time with the production.

By Jan Batson - Teacher - Jefferson County School District, Louisv

Unique and different...full of dramatic characters.

Synopsis

Harriet Gunther's Chicago boarding house for young ladies almost loses its good reputation in a single night in 1925. Three gangsters posing as the new "help" invade the house looking for a treasure supposedly hidden there by Two Ton Tommy, a notorious but now dead-gangster. To complicate matters, the world's greatest screen lover and his director take refuge in the house to escape rabid fans. A would-be writer promises to do anything to find the girl of his dreams who lives in the house—only he doesn't know which one. Father and son tycoons insist on impressing as many of the girls in the house as they can. Topping it off, a nosey neighbor is sure Harriet is running a speakeasy. Is it any wonder several of the girls fall hard for the intruders? Chicago in the 20s—it's exactly what made the decade roar!
