'Babes In Arms' Experience Growing Pains The curtain opened to reveal the apprentices at work, whose goal was to present their production — The Revue, which they knew would take them to stardom. Their only problem was their boss, Seymour Fleming (Sean Thomas), half owner of the playhouse. He would work the kids for the majority of the day, leaving them with little time for The Revue. Bunny Byron (Kathy Ambler), also half owner of the playhoqse, was the apprentices' only ally, yet had little influence on Fleming because she lacked the funds to support her half of the playhouse. Fleming saw the opportunity to help the playhouse financially by having author, actor, and producer Lee Calhoun (Lee Wunschel) present his drama. The Deep North. Chosen for the lead, Jennifer Owen (Beth Larson) accidentally ran into Val, who was attracted to her beauty. Looking into each other's eyes, they swore they had met somewhere before. But Where or When? Slowly, Bunny continued to lose the playhouse to Fleming. Coming to her rescue, the apprentices promised to help by giving her all their profits from The Revue. When Fleming suddenly announced % that The Deep North would be running a week longer, the kid's revue was cancelled, but the apprentices decided to it anyway for Bunny's sake. Steve Edwards, a prominent movie producer, came to see The Deep North. (He just happened to be Jennifer's boyfriend). When the apprentices realized that Edwards was coming to the playhouse, they decided to ask him to see their revue in hopes that he would sponsor it. Terry was the candidate, but Susie wanted to do the asking. The fact was that Steve was her brother. To do the show for Steve, all of the apprentices had to leave their posts during The Deep North performance. They went to a bam to perform their revue, which left The Deep North with a cast of two. Starring within his own production, Calhoun tried to pull off the show by himself, yet he failed miserably. He vowed to never return north except at the head of a confederate army. Running without'a hitch. The Revue was a great success. Upon finishing the last portion of the show, the cast was interrupted by an irate Fleming who fired everyone in sight. Valentine, however, entered and announced that a company had taken an option of the revue and that he had the money to purchase the playhouse for Bunny. Babes in Arms, was directed by Ms. Dexheimer, Ms. Feldt, and Mrs. Carter. Two of the cast members were not able to perform on the evening of November 7.
