The Royal Family by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber is a classic comedy about the eccentric and glamorous Cavendish family, who are the most famous theatrical family on Broadway. While matriarch Fanny Cavendish (Marsha Mason) plans a farewell tour, her leading lady daughter, Julie (Kate Baldwin), has to choose between a date and a first rehearsal-and just when matinee idol brother Tony (Max von Essen) is on the lam for slugging a Hollywood director. Meanwhile, Fanny’s granddaughter, Gwen (Ali Ewoldt), is thinking the unthinkable: chucking the whole thing to marry a stockbroker (Allan K. Washington)! With humor and heart, The Royal Family takes audiences on a wild ride through the highs and lows of show business and family life.
Your ticket to this special fundraising event underwrites Keen Company’s 23rd Season, including two Off-Broadway productions, the Keen Playwrights Lab fostering mid-career writers, and our Keen Teens program providing free theater education to students in all five boroughs of New York City.
