Speech Class Sees Pygmalion In Bay City
Twenty two Farwell School students and teachers Fred Warner and Mrs. Lou Beery traveled by bus to Bay City to see Pygmalion staged by Bay City Handy High School Drama Club. The performance featured a 75 piece orchestra playing My Fair Lady music during intermissions and before the show. The tale follows a Cockney flower girl trained by a professor of elocution to become a refined speaker. The Farwell group marveled at Handy High’s larger stage and backstage facilities versus their home school.
