Pygmalion, Shaw’s most famous and beloved play, as well as the basis for the musical My Fair Lady, is a rollicking comedy that reminds us of the importance of being as fully connected to both our heads and hearts as we can, and to live our lives as fully as possible. A celebrated professor of phonetics makes a wager that he can pass a bedraggled Cockney flower girl off as a duchess at an ambassador’s garden party by giving her the tools of education. But, before the lessons are over, she has become his teacher, as well: helping him learn to face his emotional self as an aware human. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a commentary on women’s independence.

The cast of Pygmalion featured Kate Hamill, David Lee Huynh, Laura Patinkin, Alison Fraser, Robert Petkoff, Shavanna Calder,  Justin Robertson, Thomas Jay Ryan, Thom Sesma and Jennifer Van Dyck.

Pygmalion was directed by David Staller.
