***** Highly Recommended ***** When I read that some theater or other is doing a revival of such-and-so play, I often find myself asking, “What were they thinking?” I might have thought that when I read that Remy Bumppo was staging Garson Kanin’s 1946 play “Born Yesterday” but I was wrong! During intermission, my friend Nancy wondered if this was about Washington today. She was shocked when I told her when “Born Yesterday” was written. You’ll really want to see this brilliant revival! 4 BIG Spotlights
Remy Bumppo’s production of “Born Yesterday” runs through April 30th at the Greenhouse Theater Center, 2257 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago. Running time is 2 hours, 15 minutes, with an intermission.

Tickets range from $47.50-$52.50. Parking is available in the Lincoln Garage (formerly the Children’s Memorial Hospital Garage) about a block and a half north of the Greenhouse. 2-4 hours will run you $10.
