...Kiss For Cinderella (by Sir James M. Barrie; produced by Cheryl Crawford & Richard Krakeur).

A dull, dawdling tale of refugee theatre folk in Manhattan at the time of Anschluss (Co-Playwright Kortner is himself a refugee actor). Another Sun told of their hopes & fears and of the dilemma of the most famous of them, who, unable to get work...
