“The Country Cousin” Play Reading

September 24, 2007

Ten Chimneys launched a fourth season of its highly-acclaimed collaboration with the Milwaukee Rep’s Interns on September 24th with The Country Cousin, Booth Tarkington’s hit 1917 comedy which follows the moral transformation of a young high-society philanderer, and originally starred the then unknown, Alfred Lunt.
