Clinton Area Stage Troupe (CAST) will perform their second full-length musical, My Fair Lady, on Wednesday, July 28, and Thursday, July 29, at 7:30 p.m. in the North Hunterdon High School theater.
Set in England in 1912, the show depicts the chance meeting of Eliza Doolittle (played by Clinton’s Katie Meo), a little Cockney “guttersnipe”, and England’s leading phoneticist, the brilliant but crotchety Professor Henry Higgins (played by Clinton resident Vincent R. Angeline). Eliza is selling violets, while Higgins is on one of his many quests for new dialects of the English language. Another linguist, Colonel Pickering (Kyle Tinnes), makes a bet that Higgins cannot teach Eliza sufficiently proper speech and manners to pass her off as a duchess at the Embassy Ball several months later. In the process of Eliza’s transformation, a handsome young aristocrat, Freddy Eynsford-Hill (Michael Waskiewicz), becomes intrigued with her. Meanwhile, her squalid father, Alfred Doolittle (Steve Hill), means to take every advantage of his daughter’s connection with the well-to-do Higgins.
About 50 area residents participate as actors and actresses, stage crew assistants, and orchestra members. The show is directed by CAST’s founder, Mary Ennis Meo of Clinton
