Pygmalion

By George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Shawn Douglass
November 23, 2016 – January 8, 2017

Language lovers rejoice for Shaw’s most enduring and endearing critique of high society at the turn of the century. When Eliza Doolittle volunteers as the subject for Henry Higgins’ exciting social experiment, the optimistic flower girl opens the door to a world more fierce and complex than the dirty London streets. Filled with wit and wordplay, Pygmalion explores what defines who we are and who we might become.
