Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street) celebrated Opening Night yesterday evening Wednesday, April 29th.

ACCENT ON YOUTH, a new production of Samson Raphaelson's comedy, is a salute to love's possibilities, both on stage and off. Successful playwright Steven Gaye (Pierce) is about to abandon his latest script, when his young secretary (Garrison) offers him new inspiration. With her as his muse, he stages the show on Broadway, only to learn, to his dismay, that the show's young leading man (Furr) is being inspired by her too.
The creative team for ACCENT ON YOUTH includes John Lee Beatty (scenic design), Jane Greenwood (costume design), Brian MacDevitt (lighting design), Obadiah Eaves (original music & sound design), and Tom Watson (hair & wig design).
