"Auntie Mame" by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee opens September 19th on the Mainstage of the Long Beach Playhouse and runs through October 25th.
This American classic tells the story of Mame Dennis, a handsome, sparkling, scatterbrained and warm-hearted lady who brightened the American landscape with her whimsical gaiety, her slightly madcap adventures and her devotion to her young nephew. In her own words, "Life is a banquet and most suckers are starving to death!"
