FCHS Presents “Pygmalion” The musical Pygmalion” by Bernard Shaw, featured 22 cast members, nearly 50 costumes, and three scene changes. The play was not without mishaps. Barb Moulton, on her way to rehearsal, sprained her ankle and almost appeared as a crippled Eliza Doolittle. Mr. Fuller was caught on stage preparing for the second act when the curtain was opened prematurely. After practice one night, Eliza almost lost her wig to the garbage man when it was accidentally thrown in the trash. The audience was even occupied during the intermission with refreshments that Mr. Fuller and the cast had provided. The Novem- ber 19th and 20th performances were the first occasions that the idea of refreshments had ever been used for play intermissions. 20
