The Pajama Game

Youth Theatre Northwest continues 26th Season!

Pajama Game closes YTN Summerstock!

Performing August 21 through 30, 2009

Description:

Youth Theatre Northwest (YTN) continues it’s 26th Season and Summerstock program with a salute to the classic musical Pajama Game, opening August 21st.

The dangers of workplace romance are explored to hysterical effect in this romantic comedy from the creators of Damn Yankees. Conditions at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory are anything but peaceful as sparks fly between new superintendent Sid Sorokin and Babe Williams, leader of the union grievance committee. Their stormy relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a seven-and-a-half cent pay increase, setting off a conflict between management and labor and a battle of the sexes!

Based on the story 7 ½ cents by Richard Bissell, the musical Pajama Game is appropriate for children ages 8 and up. The book for Pajama Game was written by George Abbott and Richard Bissell with music and lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross.

Pajama Game is the final production in Youth Theatre Northwest’s Summer Stock 2009 lineup. Paying tribute to classic stories, YTN also produced Winnie-the-Pooh and Annie to the enjoyment of thousands of audience members.

Performance Schedule: Pajama Game performs August 21st through 30th, Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:00 pm with Matinee performances on Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 pm.
