About the Show

TACT will continue its 2012-2013 season with Happy Birthday, by Anita Loos, directed by TACT Co-Artistic Director Scott Alan Evans. Loos wrote Happy Birthday for her friend Helen Hayes, who
was “fed up with hoop skirts and wigs” and wanted to do something contemporary. Hayes loved the script and brought it to Richard Rodgers, who was looking for something to produce. Rodgers brought on Oscar Hammerstein II and wrote an original song for the production. Hayes received the first-ever Tony Award
