Babes in Arms is set in Cape Cod, during the 1930’s.A time where living in the great country of America means life is carefree and happy, free from danger and filled with opportunities.
A group of overworked and underpaid summer stock actors are busy rehearsing for the doomed play ‘The Deep North’ at the loss making Surf and Sand Playhouse. On learning that a big Broadway producer is in town to see the play, the kids decide to scheme a way of showing their own revue that they have been secretly rehearsing. The usual mix-ups and misunderstandings ensue producing a funny and energetic show enhanced with a classic score. It is the original ‘hey kids let’s put on a show ‘ musical made famous by the Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland movie of the same name.
