Set in the year 1954, My Favorite Year centers around Benjy Stone, a freshman sketch writer for a live television variety show starring King Kaiser. Benjy is assigned to look after one of the show’s guest stars Alan Swann, a movie idol whose career was disrupted by his addiction to alcohol and loose women. The task of keeping the celebrity sober and celibate until airtime proves to be more difficult than expected for Benjy, and he soon finds himself wrapped up in a series of shenanigans like none he has ever experienced before. The show will be performed Thursday, March 29 and Friday, March 30 at 8:00 p.m., and Saturday, March 31 at 3:00 p.m. Directed by Brett Billings, '12.
