Pygmalion debuts Jan. 27 and runs until Feb. 4.
Penned by George Bernard Shaw in the early twentieth century, Pygmalion tells the story of a poor flower girl and the young professor of phonetics that attempts to take her from rags to riches.
The play has enjoyed massive popularity and critical acclaim. "Shaw is arguably the best playwright of his time, and we are true to his intentions," said David Barker, the show's director.
Pygmalion remains Shaw's most popular play to date Patrons can expect an experience that is "Funny, colorful, and very witty."
The play is starred by Tori Lewis as Eliza Doolittle, and Chris Zunino as Professor Henry Higgins.
