Initially published in 1914, Papa was the first major dramatic work by playwright and poet Zoë Akins (1886-1958). A subtle but quietly savage comedy of manners, the play was not a commercial success but has since come to be regarded as a masterpiece. As a skillfully drawn portrait of genteel corruption, it ranks with the works of masters of dramatic satire like Moliere and Oscar Wilde.

Cast: Caprisha Page as Chloe; Amanda Friday as Doris; Ron Altman as Papa; Brett Downey as Mr. Roderick; Levi Throckmorton as Dick; Libby Stephenson as Little Dolores and the Maid; Carol Box as the Governess and Mrs. Blythe; and Bob Neufeld as Zimzapanzi. Stage directions read by Denis Daly.
