In Major Barbara, the title character is one of the wealthiest heiresses in the world, but has chosen a life of service in the Salvation Army. Her father, whom she barely knows, comes back into the family鈥檚 world, and everyone鈥檚 life is irrevocably changed forever.
鈥淲e鈥檙e beginning our 15th season of Project Shaw with one of the most requested of all Shaw plays and, given the provocative approach to comedy, story-telling, and rich character, it鈥檚 easy to see why people love it. It鈥檚 a comedy about checking our own moral compass and connecting to our true heart. Not easy, of course, but it鈥檚 the perfect time of year for taking stock and new beginnings!鈥� said Staller in an earlier statement.
The season will continue February 24 with What Every Woman Knows by J.M. Barrie, directed by Kathy MacGowan.
Tickets are $40 and are available at .
