  • What a Life is a 1938 Broadway play by Clifford Goldsmith. What a Life is set in Central High School, with action primarily occurring in the principal's office. The main character, Henry Aldrich, "thinks he is dumb because his father won a Phi Beta Kappa key at college."

The play was copyrighted on July 7, 1936, under the title Enter to Learn.

It languished for more than one year, but things changed when producer George Abbott took charge. (en)
