The play's plot follows the trials and tribulations of a young psycho logical consultant, conditioned from infancy to be absolutely devoid of emotion, whose life is beset with ob stacles in the form of various strange people who conic to him for help. Among the odd personalities who come to Stedman Barron (played by Albert Eggerton) are a henpecked husband (Leo Kroto), his domineer ing spouse (Sarah Flinn), a fearful safecracker (Arnold Muir), a re pressed woman politician (Evelyn Connor) and two disgusted drunks (Bob Quinn and Theresa Tenore). Further complications are present ed by Ann Bennett (Laura Lee Green), daughter of Dr. Bennett (Dick Anderson) who with Dr. Keppman (Bill Tennant) was re sponsible for Stedman's conditioning. She is determined, by fair means or foul, to break down what she terms "Stedman's freak emotional condi tion." Lily Keppman (Mary Crow), who wants to make Stediman socially prominent, adds to the confusion, as do the butler (Bill Hankinson) and the maid (Jane Loyal). The show will feature original mu sic by Jean Brunson, Bob Quinn and David Murray with orchestration and arrangements by Jack Johnson and Larry Kaye. Solos by Prescott Juniper and Lanny Lofdahl will en hance the musical part of the show. Besides the solo numbers there will be several choruses.
