Mrs. Warren's Profession by George Bernard Shaw

March 2-5 and 9-12
Burke Theatre in Burke-Hawthorne Hall on the UL campus


Shaw's wit and satire are on full display in this classic play. Miss Vivie Warren is young, financially secure, and college-educated, but when she has to face the facts of how her mother made the fortune that has provided Vivie with these advantages, she may have to re-evaluate her views on the world. A play that asks important questions while leaning into Shaw's renowned humor and examination of the world in which we live.
