Synopsis

The action takes place in a pajama factory in the American Middle West, where the workers are demanding a rise of seven and a half cents. Intransigent management, led by the factory boss Myron P. Hasler, is at loggerheads with a union executive under its president, Prez. Caught in the middle are the time study man, Hines, and the factory superintendent, Syd Sorokin, both trying to fulfil orders despite the chaos, and Babe Williams of the factory grievance committee, who is trying to keep the peace. Then there is the love interest: Syd and Babe have fallen in love, and Hines is in love with Hasler's secretary, Gladys, though the path of true love never runs smooth.

From the company’s records

The cast, production team and synopsis are recovered from the company's own website as it stood in 2004, preserved by the Internet Archive.

That site carried a detail page for each of its ten most recent productions, and this is the only surviving record of who was in this one.

Were you in it?

We would like to know more about The Pajama Game.

The record for this production is thinner than the show deserves. If you were in it, or you were in the audience, you may have something the archive does not.

Programmes, photographs, cuttings from the local paper, a cast list in somebody’s handwriting: all of it helps, and we will add it here.
