 SYNOPSIS:

What do you get when you mix a blunt-talking, famous efficiency-expert father and a brilliant, compassionate psychologist mother with twelve rambunctious offspring of various sizes?  You get one of America’s all-time best-loved memoirs! Adapted for the stage by Christopher Segal, Cheaper by the Dozen, follows the adventures of a large, irrepressible family unit lead by one of the great pioneers in industrial efficiency who believes “what works in the factory, works in the home.” The hilarious, heartfelt story of growing up Gilbreth has already delighted generations – and it remains as joyous and exuberant as ever.
