About this event

Stag & Lion Theatre Co. presents George Bernard Shaw’s 1912 comedy “Pygmalion.” Henry Higgins is a brilliant and arrogant professor of phonetics whose passion is the English language. He is bet that he can’t transform and pass a poor flower girl off as a duchess. The flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, is anxious at first to find a better station in life—but can she fully embrace this new world? A play on class and the perceptions we see through that lens this comedy has been loved for generations and is perfect for the whole family. Sure to invoke discussions on language, class, and gender it is as important now as it was over 100 years ago.

We bring a long lost style back to theatre-- In the old days, before the 20th century, the theatre was vibrant with a life between actor and audience, between their reality and ours. We do not think the audience should be regulated to sitting like good boys and girls in the dark but, to be in our world with us. Our stage is wooden, our amber lights make it glow, and you will be transported back in time to a theatre experience like no other. Laugh at our clowns, get angry at our villians, sigh with our lovers, cry at misfortunes and applaud happy endings.
