KROC CENTER
“Cheaper by the Dozen”
adapted by Christopher Sergel from the book by Frank Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. Comedy.
– A family favorite, perfect to open our inaugural season! Cheaper by the Dozen is one of the freshest, funniest and most enduring family plays. Based on the autobiographical novel by two of the children, this is the mostly true story of famed efficiency expert Frank Bunker Gilbreth, a benevolent despot in his own home, managing to keep order and (sometimes) sanity despite the presence of twelve children. A delightful romp among a strong family facing the joys and sorrows of coming of age.
