    Pygmalion

     

    By George Bernard Shaw. Shaw’s classic comedy reimagined in mid-sixties America. A linguistics professor makes a daring bet: he can transform a streetwise flower seller into high society. But as she finds her voice, she turns the tables—teaching him a lesson he never expected. Witty, bold, and surprisingly heartfelt, Pygmalion is a sharp take on class, identity, and the power of transformation.

    Johnson Studio Theatre, Johnson Hall

    Cabaret

     

    Book by Joe Masteroff; Music by John Kander; Lyrics by Fred Ebb. Step inside the Kit Kat Club in 1929 Berlin, where the drinks flow, the music pulses, and the world outside is beginning to change. Guided by the mischievous Emcee, this iconic musical follows an American writer drawn into the seductive, chaotic world of nightclub performer Sally Bowles. Featuring unforgettable songs like "Willkommen," "Don't Tell Mama," "Maybe This Time," and "Cabaret," the show dazzles with bold performances and electrifying energy. But beneath the glamour lies a powerful story of a society on the brink. Emerging during a time of political upheaval in America, Cabaret remains as urgent as ever—both a celebration of artistic freedom and a stark warning against complacency in the face of rising extremism. Provocative, daring, and hauntingly relevant, it captures a world dancing at the edge of change.
