Opening the season will be the Pulitzer Prize winning Broadway musical, "1776". Chosen in honour of the U.S. Bicentennial, the large scale musical will be shown during the 4th of July week.

The show's large cast of characters includes John Adams, Tom Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and other notables from the members of the American First Continental Congress. Following "1776", Neil Simon's comedy "Star Spangled Girl" wraps up the Playhouse tribute to the U.S. Bicentennial. The season then shifts its focus to Canada and Canada's unique cultural heritage. The Playbill contains two works from Canada, two from England and two from France. "Irma La Douce" is the first French offering. This is the full- scale musical version which enjoyed a long run in Paris, where it originated, and then in London and New York. Con- sequently, the.show bears only a little resemblence to the Jack Lemmon-Shirley M cLa ine movie version of the same name.
