By Ring Lardner and George S. Kaufman. Cast size: 7 men, 5 women (One man can be cut); 3 sets. June Moon was the last major comedy to open on Broadway before the Stock Market Crash. It had its premiere on October 9, 1929 at the Broadhurst and ran 249 performances.
Throughout his career, Kaufman made a fine art out of the revue sketch, the most popular theatrical form on Broadway in the 1920s and early 1930s. Several of his sketches are absolute classics and they can be singly or as part of a larger evening.
A farce about the small-town mania for joining fraternal organizations. Our hero, Jim Helton, nearly bankrupts his entire family savings in order to host the national convention for his beloved Knights of Corsica. Common sense prevails at the very last minute.
