Plot Synopsis:
"My Fair Lady" tells the story of the over-confident Professor Higgins and his experiment that attempts to transform a cockney girl, Eliza, into a proper-speaking lady. Higgins and his friend Colonel Pickering make great progress with the girl and even take her to the horse races and a grand ball. Nevertheless, they still treat Eliza as a mere experiment and not as a human being. When Eliza runs away, Higgins realizes that she is more than just an experiment; indeed he is in love with the girl.

Production Notes:
The students of Slatington High School presented the long-running Broadway musical, "My Fair Lady" on April 16, 17 1971. This is the first time students of all grades and teachers of all departments in the high school have ventured on a joint project that climaxed successfully. The entire production was backed by a company of forty singers and dancers under the direction of Mr. George Lesh. Mrs. Edith Roeder acted as dramatic director who was responsible for the fine acting of Robert Grosch, Lynne Warfel, Rick Eckhart, Keith Semmel, and Rick Valagene to name a few. It was the interest and enthusiasm of Mrs. Roeder and some students who initiated the tradition of Broadway Musicals to the Northern Lehigh School District. Who would have imagined that this fine cultural experience for students, staff, and community would still be going strong in 1990? Special congratulations to Mrs. Edith Roeder and her staff for their keen foresight into Northern Lehigh's future!
