Fall 2016:
Director's Note
Welcome to Otay Ranch High School's fall production of Pygmalion. This play, written in the early 1900's, tells the story of a young flower girl trying to better herself, learning how to speak properly with the help of a stodgy upper-class Englishman. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Add a few catchy songs and a dance routine, and you have My Fair Lady. This is the play that launched the Broadway musical.
Pygmalion takes a look at how people treat each other, forces us to question perceived differences, blurs the gender line and does it all through humor. I challenge you to try to see yourself in one of these colorful characters and laugh a little at yourself in the process.
Otay Ranch High School has always impressed me with the level of talent possessed by its students. This play, under their skillful stewardship, will have you laughing one moment and gasping in shock the next. You're in for a ride, so sit back, relax and enjoy!
