Performing Arts at Oakton Presents 'Born Yesterday'

Garson Kanin's classic comedy, Born Yesterday, will be presented Nov. 30 - Dec. 3, and Dec. 7 - 10, in Studio One at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.

Set in Washington D.C., not long after the end of World War II, Born Yesterday takes aim at political corruption. Harry Brock, a shady businessman, schemes to use his girlfriend, Billie Dawn, to "pocket" a few senators. His plan is foiled, however, when she discovers the truth of the situation, thanks to an idealistic Capitol Hill reporter.

Performances of Born Yesterday are 8 p.m., Fridays, Dec. 1 and 8; 8 p.m., Saturdays, Dec. 2 and 9; 2 p.m., Sundays, Dec. 3 and 10; and 8 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 7. Tickets are $10 for general admission; $8 for students and seniors; and $6 for groups of 15 or more.

A $5 preview performance will be staged at 8 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 30 and a post-show discussion will be held after the Sunday, Dec. 10 performance.

To reserve tickets, call the Oakton Box Office at 847-635-1900.
