About Face

Biff Roberts, Tony Williams and Dave Crouse are upper classmen at Southern Military Institute (fictional school based on real school—Virginia Military Institute—in original play and film), and just three months away from graduating as commissioned officers in the U.S. Army. Williams and Crouse have girl problems while Roberts, the star pitcher on the school’s baseball team, has a different sort of problem, as he is secretly married and his co-ed wife is expecting a child. The other two also have the problem of keeping Roberts in school long enough to graduate and, more importantly, pitch in the BIG GAME of the year, all wrapped around seven musical numbers.
