Old Acquaintance Tickets

Old Acquaintance is a delightful drawing-room comedy about two childhood friends who have grown into very different adults.Though they are both successful authors, independent Katharine "Kit" Markham carries on an affair with a younger man while divorcee Mildred "Millie" Drake refuses to loosen the apron strings on her teenage daughter, Deidre. But when Deidre's struggles to become more like her idol Kit have far-reaching consequences, the two women who thought they were growing apart realize that they may have much more in common than they'd like to admit. Old Acquaintance premiered on Broadway in 1940 at the Morosco Theatre, starring Jane Cowl and Peggy Wood. In 1943, the play was made into feature film starring Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins.

Tickets at Todd Haimes Theatre

The Todd Haimes Theatre was built in 1918 by producers (and brothers) Arch and Edgar Selwyn and was originally named The Selwyn Theatre. Like many other theaters, it fell victim to the economic woes of the Great Depression and became a movie house in the 1930s.


The venue was a movie theater for almost 70 years, until it was purchased by the Roundabout Theatre Company in the late 1990s. After an expensive overhaul, it reopened as The American Airlines Theatre in 2000. In January 2024, the theater was renamed in memory of Roundabout Theatre Company's longtime artistic director and chief executive Todd Haimes.

Story for Old Acquaintance

Great Friends...Even Better Enemies, by John Van Druten. Directed by Michael Wilson.Old Acquaintance stars Tony Award®-winner Harriet Harris Thoroughly Modern Millie as Milly and Margaret Colin A Day in the Death of Joe Egg as Kit in this deliciously witty comedy of manners that chronicles a tumultuous friendship of the upper-crust set. Both successful authors, independent Kit carries on an affair with a younger man while divorcée Milly refuses to loosen the apron strings on her teenage daughter. When an old secret comes to light and an unexpected affair creates a rift amongst the longtime friends, the two must decide whether to cling to petty rivalries or keep the one sure thing they've got: each other. Michael Wilson, director of the Tony Award®-nominated Enchanted April, helms this sparkling play written by John Van Druten
