The Front Page
By Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur
Directed by Kathy Quinn
Presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC
The Front Page was first performed on Broadway in 1928. It is set in the Chicago City Hall press room, where cynical tabloid reporters are waiting to get the “scoop” on the scheduled execution of a prisoner who has been framed by a corrupt mayor. There is fast-paced, physical action and brisk dialogue throughout.
Please note that parking in Swarthmore can be a challenge. Parking is available on the street in front of Swarthmore United Methodist Church, and in the municipal parking lot next to the Swarthmore Library which is located next to the church. There is NO CHARGE for either of these in the evening or on the weekends and holidays, and, on Saturdays and Sundays, you can park in the SEPTA rail station lot. See map with just a sampling of parking available.
