Bravo for ‘My Fair Lady’

Wow! What a great performance Joe Rizzo and a Peninsula All Star cast have put together. If you appreciate live theater, don’t miss ‘My Fair Lady.

Bob Bird’s characterisation of Professor Higgins would match any anywhere in the country. Audra Faris made a marvelous tranisition from street urchin to a beautiful, sensitive young lady. It was fun to see the usual vibrant Terry Burdick as a pinched-faced, mostly unresponsive maid. I could go on and on. Everyone in the cast did a superb job. Don’t miss it. Fun theater.
