World War II Navy officers combat bureaucracy and boredom with high-seas hi-jinks in this all-new Kennedy Center production of the 1948 Tony Award® winner for Best Play.

Peppered with clever dialogue and moments of rousing inspiration, this enduring American comedy of uncommon heroism will be directed by Robert Longbottom, a 2003 Tony Award® nominee whose director/choreographer credits include Side Show and Flower Drum Song.
