Events

Princeton Summer Theater presents this timeless comedy by George Bernard Shaw — a sharply funny commentary on class, gender, and what it means to be true to yourself. Speech professor Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can transform cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle from a low-class nobody to the toast of society at an upcoming garden party. He soon realizes, however, that this feat might not be so easily accomplished; Eliza has strong opinions of her own, and she is prepared to fight Henry every step of the way on her transformation from street urchin to sophisticated duchess. The inspiration for the musical My Fair Lady, the story of Pygmalion has captivated audiences for decades. Adapted and directed by R.N. Sandberg.

Shows run July 3-4, 8-11, and 16-18 at 8:00 p.m. with matinee performances at 2:00 p.m. on July 4-5, 11-12, and 18-19 in the Hamilton Murray Theater in Murray Dodge Hall on the University campus. On July 3, 10, and 17, join the cast in a post-show talkback. Special guests TBD.

Tickets are $27.50 for evening shows, $22 for matinees, and $22 for students; available online through Princeton Summer Theater.
