ABOUT THE SHOW
The dangers of a workplace romance are explored to hysterical effect in this romantic
comedy (from the creators of DAMN YANKEES). Conditions at the Sleep-Tite Pajama
Factory are anything but peaceful, as sparks fly between new superintendent Sid
Sorokin and Babe Williams, leader of the union grievance committee. Their stormy
relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a 7 and a half cent pay
increase, setting off not only a conflict between management and labor, but a battle
of the sexes as well.
˜The Pajama Game features a musical score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross and is based on a novel ˜7 1/2 CENTS by Richard Bissell.
The show will be directed by Andy McPhee and produced by Annamarie Hughes.
