GIBSONIA — The comedy “Born Yesterday” kicks off the Kean Theatre’s 10th season.

The play is about an uncouth, corrupt rich junk dealer, Harry Brock, who brings his showgirl mistress, Billie Dawn, with him to Washington, D.C. When Billie’s ignorance becomes a liability to Brock’s business dealings, he hires a journalist, Paul Verrall, to educate his girlfriend. Once educated, Billie realizes Harry’s corrupt ways and — it turns out —she is not as dumb as she thought.
