Our Mission
To produce theatre that reflects issues, concerns and shared experiences in the lives of women.
Every production that Pygmalion Productions undertakes ties directly back to its mission: giving voice to women – playwrights, directors, performers, characters – and telling the stories that reflect women’s lives. We do this through a variety of artistic media.
Our next production is ased on Strayed’s beloved collection of real-life letters and adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Tiny Beautiful Things brings to life the online advice column that made “Dear Sugar” a phenomenon. When an anonymous struggling writer took over the column, she offered empathy, honesty, and unflinching vulnerability to those seeking guidance on life’s most difficult questions.
“Tackling themes of grief, love, sex, friendship, and forgiveness, Tiny Beautiful Things is a play about reaching when you’re stuck, healing when you’re broken, and finding courage when there are no easy answers,” said director Tamara Howell, who also stars as Sugar. The production also features Stephanie Howell, Ali Lente, and Matthew Ivan Bennett as the letter writers. Howell co-directs the play with her daughter Madison Howell and PYGmalion Artistic Director Fran Pruyn. Click here for tickets.
