About Babbitt
Based on Sinclair Lewis’s classic satirical novel, Babbitt was adapted into a play by Tony Award-winner Joe DiPietro and is directed by Tony Award-winner Christopher Ashely, who together developed the world premiere production of the play last season at La Jolla Playhouse, alongside star Matthew Broderick. Babbitt runs at STC’s Harman Hall through November 3.
Babbitt is a satirical comedy that captures the plight of the modern middle-class American man. Based on Lewis’s 1922 novel, the play follows George F. Babbitt (Broderick), a successful real estate agent, who plunges recklessly into extraordinary rebellion against the conformity of everyday life. Broderick delivers a performance that The San Diego Union-Tribune acclaims as “vulnerable, delicately played, and disarmingly funny.”
The company also includes Ann Harada, Matt McGrath, and Chris Myers , Judy Kaye and Ali Stroker, as well as Broadway veteran Mara Davi.
