Directed by Sydnie Grosberg Ronga

A new musical using 1920’s Cole Porter songs in a tale that blends the frothy style of early musical comedy with modern sensibilities about sexuality and identity.  Set in 1925 Paris, Let’s Misbehave is about a woman who leaves her loveless marriage in Dayton to go to Paris for fun and sexual adventures, but neither she nor her husband (who follows her) are prepared for the complications that come with sexual freedom.  Let’s Misbehave is about the challenge of letting go of who you’ve been, so you can embrace who you might become.

Rich Orloff is an internationally acclaimed, not-yet-famous playwright. The New York Times called his play Big Boys “rip-roaringly funny” and named Funny As A Crutch a Critic’s Pick.  His comedy Romantic Fools  has had over 120 productions in the USA, Africa, Asia and Europe, including two productions in Madrid, where apparently they’re no better at romance than we are.  His short plays have had over 2000 productions on six continents – and a staged reading in Antarctica.  His musical Esther In The Spotlight has been performed in New York, Miami, Toronto and Tel Aviv, and his educational children’s play Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Fight Tuberculosis Together was a big hit in Kosovo.  This season his plays are being produced in Finland, Sweden, Greece and Utica NY.
