The Garson Kanin comedy may not arrive until next April at ARt's Spartan Theatre space, but the crucial role of Billie Dawn will be performed by a woman who did an outstanding job as a blonde last season -- last year's Mae West in Dirty Blonde, and a veteran of about 10 shows over the last dozen years in Spokane, Christina Lang.
Michael Weaver will play Harry Brock -- the hulking, corrupt garbage magnate who arrives in Washington, D.C., to bribe a senator and get some favorable legislation passed. Problem is, Harry's dumb-blonde girlfriend might make him look bad in Washington's social circles. Lang will play Billie, who of course only _appears_ to have been born yesterday.
