Synopsis
Meg Wheeler felt stifled in her small hometown where she's just graduated from college. So Meg comes to New York intent on enlarging her horizon—and by that she means finding a husband. She moves into a boarding house in Manhattan that's filled with attractive girls, most of them just as eager as Meg to find the ideal man. Meg has a unique ability to invent plausible statistics. "According to statistics," she used to tell her parents, "eighty-two point four percent of girls over sixteen are allowed to stay out till midnight." However, when Meg tries her homemade statistics on the mathematically inclined Miles Doughton, head of an advertising firm, the system fails. Meg is fascinated by Miles' younger brother Evan. When she looks at him, she feels "like a marshmallow over an open fire." Miles decides to give her a hand in snaring Evan but, in the course of it all, he and Meg fall in love with each other!

Customer Reviews
It was a cute, funny show! Easy to direct and easy for the kids to perform.
Very easy to stage -- liked by all of my students (high school). Cute story -- wholesome -- audiences LOVED it!
What a fun, wonderful play! My kids had a blast performing the fun, crazy characters. It was also a great challenge for them.
One of our most appreciated and applauded plays, even when we had to perform it in the dark with flashlights during a two-hour power outage.
It was a delightful comedy that challenged my actors while proving to be very entertaining for adults.
The students had a blast working on this show! It is very comedic and easy to adapt the time period.
What a wonderful play! It is so much fun for my kids to go back in time and experience the way it was when there were "girls' hotels." There are great characters for my actors to develop and fun scenes that keep the audience enjoying every minute of the play!
This play allows for budding romance, belly-aching laugh, and nail-biting anticipation. Good play for helping students understand blocking, sets, and all stage acting basics.
Hints, Tips, and Tricks
I put the play into the 1950s time period which helped challenge my team for set and costume as well as actors who had to learn period movement.
