Musical Comedy: My Fair Lady

Acclaimed Professor and confirmed bachelor Henry Higgins makes a wager with his linguistic colleague Colonel Pickering that in six months he can pass off “gutter snipe” Eliza Doolittle as a duchess at an embassy ball. Through arduous training, day and night, Eliza convinces a supposed linguistics expert that she is royalty. Through her transformation process, Eliza forges a deep connection with Colonel Pickering and most especially with Professor Higgins. However, she finds herself in a difficult position, now too “refined” to go back to her old life and not with any means or desire to live life as a lady of leisure. Directed by Sebastian Lawler, music directed by Kristen Kivell. Tickets: $23 adults, $18 students/seniors, available at the Guild shop, www.northfieldartsguild.org or by calling 507-645-8877.
