The President, which has been adapted by Morwyn Brebner, debuted at the Shaw Festival in Canada. The limited New York engagement continues through May 26.
Here's how producers bill the show: "The minutes in Molnar's manic world start ticking down for powerful bank president Norrison, when the young heiress under his care announces her secret marriage to a Communist taxi driver. Norrison tries in vain to convince her to divorce him, but she is prepared to make her big announcement to her parents, who are arriving imminently. So begins an hour of hilarity and tongue-twisting dialogue where Norrison sets about to transform this wholly unsuitable suitor into a perfectly well-bred, well-mannered, well-spoken son-in-law before time runs out."
Other members of the creative team include assistant director Stephen Logan Day, production stage manager Charles Casano, costume designer Meagan Miller-McKeever, lighting designer Michael Abrams, sound designer Amy Altadonna and set designer Ken Larson.
