From Big Idea Theatre:
The Big Idea Theatre is pleased to announce the opening of Pygmalion on Friday, November 6, 2009. We are proud to present a modern look at this classic George Bernard Shaw masterpiece, as adapted by Melissa Rae Frago. In this pop-culture-informed production, Eliza aims to reach diva-level stardom through the coaching she receives from Henry Higgins and his friend "Cole" Pickering.
This show is not a musical but features two pieces of original music that highlight Eliza's on-stage debut. Shannon Mahoney directs, and BIT company members Scott Divine and Melissa Rae Frago head up the cast as Henry and Eliza, joined by the talents of Christian St. Croix (renowned as Claude Bukowski in Artistic Differences' 2007 production of Hair), Stephen Dowdy, Deborah Forester, Sierra Hersek, Susan Madden, James Roberts and more.
Performances of Pygmalion are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, November 6 through December 5, 2009. Sunday matinees are at 2:30 p.m. (November 15, 22, 29 only). General admission tickets are $15. SARTA/League/Seniors $12. All second weekend tickets are $10 (November 13, 14, 15 only). Call (916) 960-3036 or go to http://www.bigideatheatre.com/.
