Three Men on a Horse

By George Abbott & John C. Holm Directed by Scott Alan Evans November 18 & 25, 1996 The New-York Historical Society Theatre
SYNOPSIS
Mix a mild mannered greeting card wirter with a talent for doping the ponies, three shady gamblers down on their luck, an exchorine who can still shimmy, a friendly bartender, an obnoxious brother-in-law, a dutiful wife, and an imperious boss and you have the makings of this hilarious 1935 comedy.
