Wrapping up the season will be Cole Porter's "Nymph Errant." Cole Porter felt ths musical was one of his best, but the subject matter was considered too racy for Broadway audiences in the 1930's.  Evangleine, fresh out of finishing school, sets out seeking to lose her innocence- at a café in Paris, a beach in Athens, a palazzo in Venice and even a Turkish harem. Adding to the fun, all of Evangeline's "prospects" are played by the same actor. What was Porter thinking...a play with an independent women and no leading man? Burr Quips, "Nowadays, the raciest thing in this show may be how to pronouce the title."
